All month long, we have been highlighting local Black artists and art for Black History Month.
Marsha Hatcher is a passionate artist who has made a name for herself since moving to Jacksonville more than 30 years ago.
“I like what I do when it comes to the creative aspect of my life,” she expressed. “Art has always been an intricate part of my life and livelihood, and it continues to be a source of strength as well as an outlet of emotions. My art subjects mostly consist of people of color, which can sometimes become very creative in its interpretation.”
The two-time Art Venture Grant recipient said she is encouraged by the support of the city’s arts community.
“Jacksonville has made a lot of progress when it comes to inclusion in art since I have lived here, and I am grateful for the opportunities I have been given by The Cultural Council, museums, galleries and other art organizations,” Marsha shared.
