Bio

A visual artist in a variety of media, Marcia Lloyd returned to photography, an early passion, 11 years ago.  Her subjects encompass portraits, capturing the moment, and landscapes.

Originally working on a long-term photographic project on women and aging, she has recently expanded it into a series entitled “Transformations.” These photographs explore the emotions and attitudes of people experiencing life transitions — leaving childhood, entering adolescence, becoming middle-aged while one’s teenaged daughter reaches the height of her beauty, dealing with the changes in appearance and situation that aging brings…

She has studied at Toscana Photographic Workshops in Italy and at the International Center of Photography in New York City.  Her exhibitions included a one-person show at K-Dog and Dunebuggy and two-person shows at Gallery 718 and Kush Cafe, all in Brooklyn, as well as groups shows at the Broome Street Gallery and The Art Institute of New York City in Soho; Viridian Gallery and Rush Gallery in Chelsea; The Gallery in Stamford, New York; the Image Gallery on Long Island; the Selena Gallery at Long Island University; F-Stop: Brooklyn’s inaugural show, and nine SONYA Studio Strolls.  Four of her photographs were included in the 2009 slide show “We Are All Photographers” at the New York International Photo Festival.  In addition, one of her photos was chosen in 2011 by multiple curators for Curate NYC as one of the top 150 out of the 1, 500 submissions in all media.

She has also achieved recognition as a leather sculptor, and her work is included in the Museum of Arts and Design, The Museum at the Fashion Institute of technology, the Norman Rockwell Museum, the Coach Leatherware collection, and the Young-Mallon Archive.
