Marsha attended the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in Providence. She graduated in 1966 with a B.F.A. in Painting. From there she entered the Royal College of Art in London as the only accepted American graduate student. Since Marsha had learned to love clay as a medium while taking courses at RISD, she decided to begin experimenting with her color and design sense and how it could be combined with the craft of wheel throwing to create objects that could be both useful as well as pieces of art in themselves.

Over the years, Marsha has developed many unique glazes and application techniques to get the colors and design opportunities often missing from traditional potters’ work. She likes to think of her creations as one-of-a-kind, three-dimensional, and functional canvases. Marsha’s functional and decorative ware are part of private collections all over the world. Marsha’s work has been exhibited in fine juried art and craft shows throughout the tri-state area.
