Marcia Treiger Lives and works in Bradenton, Florida, USA Speaking of form, illusions, and other worlds, photographer and visual artist Marcia Treiger's work provides her spectatorship with intense, immersive experience.

These new educational experiences all became part of the bigger picture in terms of collage and
