Marsha Heimbecker
Marsha was born in San Francisco, California and grew up in the Bay Area. After graduating from the University of California, at Berkeley and from MIT she worked for a few years as an engineer. Struggling with a congenital heart condition she could no longer work and was forced to retire. Fortunately in 2001, Marsha received a heart transplant. After her recovery, she pursued her great joy and passion in drawing and painting. Marsha has an appreciation for all the little things and is grateful to be able to wake up in the morning and just look out the window. She is inspired by many stories and personal triumphs. She treasures the beauty, color, and energy in what she sees. She often uses her imagination to paint and express herself using cheerful vibrant colors. She is forever thankful to her family, the transplant nurses, and the generous donor family for their gift.
Marsha Heimbecker is an emerging fine artist who paints with risk, creativity, and emotion. She likes to push herself. Her unique use of vivid colors and bold brushwork reveal her passion for self-expression. Storytelling often becomes her inspiration — the journeys of life. She hopes to unfold adventures, images, and tales that challenge our senses and awaken our histories. Marsha’s paintings express movement and invite individual interpretation where emotions are captured, rather than explained.
She has taken art classes at the Academy of Art in San Francisco and many Bay Area colleges, and she has attended art workshops around the country.
“I fondly remember childhood stories shared by my father and family. My favorite memories are these little things. I am taken with the beauty of life. I am fortunate. Cherish your life and your loved ones. Struggle to live your life, to become the person you always wanted to be. Paint passionately like there’s no tomorrow and share your life with the world.”
Marsha is currently a member of POPS and is represented by Horizon Fine Art Gallery, Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
