marcy gold: about the artist

A native New Yorker, I graduated from Philadelphia College of Art with a BFA in Illustration Design. A successful freelance illustrator in New York City for over 20 years, I worked in traditional media, specializing in pen and ink for the following clients: The New York Times, Newsweek, Redbook, McCall's, Saturday Review, Travel & Leisure, Scholastic Publications, American Express, Citibank, Macy's, Barnes & Noble, Bantam Doubleday Dell, Young & Rubicam, Grey Advertising, Ogilvy & Mather, NBC-TV, ABC-TV, Warner Brothers, Clinique, & Elizabeth Arden. 

I was a Featured Illustrator in an article about my work in the distinguished graphic design publication, Print Magazine. My illustrations were exhibited in many prestigious, juried Society of Illustrators' Annual Shows in New York City. These exhibits feature the best national illustrations of the year, which are then published in the Society of Illustrators' Annual fine art book. I received two Society of Illustrators' Awards of Merit for my art in these shows. 

Having worked for The Sun-Sentinel, a major South Florida newspaper-a Tribune company, and McCann-Erickson Advertising as a graphic designer, I now combine my illustration with computer graphics. A photographer as well as an artist, I create digital montages with photographic imagery and type, and write my own conceptual art copy. 

My work has been influenced by thirty years of yoga meditation. I am a teacher of meditation and a Certified Reiki Healing Master & Teacher. My latest series of Tibetan Buddhist and Hindu Meditation Mandalas speak directly to the soul and the spirit of everyone regardless of their spiritual tradition. 

marcy gold:  statement

"As a spiritual seeker, a long-time student of meditation and a Reiki healer, I want my art to uplift the spirit through beauty and elegance. I do this through the expression of metaphysically symbolic themes. Just as our very essence is hidden in our hearts & souls, my message lies within the multi-layered images of my digital art & photographic montages. My greatest wish is that my art will bless all who see it." 

Vision is the art of seeing things invisible. - Jonathan Swift
