Marcia G. Yerman’s Summary
I come out of the visual arts as a painter. After many years
of exhibiting, as well as being chosen to be an Absolut Artist,
I began curating. I have worked to create a nexus between
art and social consciousness. I focus on the voices of
women, with an emphasis on diversity.
This has lead to a parallel career in writing, activism, and
new media. My area of concentration is women's issues
and feminist cultural awareness.
Marcia G. Yerman’s Specialties:
