marginalized voices. Her work with disadvantaged youth, from artist residencies in Seattle Public Schools to piloting arts programs, underscores her belief that art should be inclusive and transformative. By integrating recycled materials like metal, glass, and natural elements into her work, she not only reinforces her environmental values but also infuses her pieces with a sense of raw authenticity. Glazière’s large-scale paintings dramatically synthesize the recognizable in a semi-abstract style while eloquently mixing media with metaphor. Her recent memoir, My Father, Picasso and ME, is a historical rarity since very few female visual artists have written about themselves. It explores her artistic evolution and the influence of her complex father. It reflects on the challenges faced by female artists and the struggle to forge an independent creative identity. The book offers an intimate look at her life’s journey—one shaped by artistic passion, personal resilience, and a determination to leave a lasting impact. Glazière’s work has been featured in over 150 exhibitions across the U.S. and Europe, with notable collections including the NSU Art Museum in Fort Lauderdale and Regions Bank in Florida. Major commissions range from the bronze statue Heading for Home, commemorating the Negro Baseball League, to architectural friezes and murals spanning from Jacksonville to Mexico, the Caribbean—specifically Grenada, West Indies and Oaxaca, Mexico. Through her paintings, sculptures, and literary works, Marsha Glazière continues to inspire and provoke thought, proving that art is not just an aesthetic pursuit. It is a powerful tool for change.
