Marcy Ann Villafaña
Marcy is a Self Taught Artist from Southern California, currently residing in central Texas. She is without formal training or education in Fine Art. Her work is mostly of the feminine form. She sees beauty in the light and dark spaces of the figure.
Inspired by the works of the Da Vinci, Salvador Dali and the 70-80's Patrick Nagel she derived at her own style through her love to cut paper. This particular form of Art is an expression of her need to control her environment. Unlike artist who can paint (which she can do quite effortlessly), she finds satisfaction in cutting cut paper with a plain old Exacto knife. Nothing new or fancy, not the new cutting technique, or cutting gadget, no curved blades, just precise, precision, dexterity, she controls the cut with her eyes. She discovered the love for this form as a teenager. She has been trying to perfect it ever since. She is nearsighted and hated to wear her glasses. She would relate to her friends by their sounds and their shapes. Her art is all about shapes and forms. She loves textures in nature and tries to incorporate both in her art which is now becoming 3 dimensional.
As a young child she loved puzzles. She was very quick at arrangement and finding the missing links. This is also expressed in her arrangement of color and texture and her enjoyment of light and dark spaces. In her admiration of Real Women, mothers, athletes, home makers, dancers... famous or not, women with uplifting attitudes, strong minded, caring, nurturing with good will she creates masterful pieces to express the inner beauty, goddess and spirit within.
