Works by Marsha Balbier
UNC Asheville's Blowers Gallery in Asheville, NC, will present
the exhibit, The Essence of Asheville, featuring works
by local artist Marsha Balbier, on view Jan. 5 - 30, 2011. The

encaustic technique dates back to ancient Egypt, when it was used
to create mummy portraits.

studied fine arts and design in various schools, including the
Banff School of Fine Arts, the University of Northern Colorado,
