Local Artist to be Showcased in Rome

Bradenton, FL

Marcile Powers is a Bradenton native and artist now living in St Petersburg, FL who is drawing international recognition for her work.

Marcile Powers will featured at an art show in Rome, Italy at Galleria L’Agostiana in the Piazza Del Popolo from April 16th – 29th 2014.  Marcile will be showcasing a piece from her meditation mandala series titled Solar Cleanse.  For this event, Marcile Powers’ art was also featured in Effetto Arte magazine from January to February.

Marcile Powers has also shown her Meditation Mandala at the Sarasota Federal Building, Manhattan, New York and in the Village of the Arts in Bradenton.  In 2013, Marcile was pubished in international contemporary Artists Vol. 6.  Marcile says that she has never been outside of the country before—much less seen snow.

“When I think of mandalas, in the way I use them as an art form, I create from more of the Native American thought than the Buddhist four-fold path. That each circle is more of a journey and that I hope I can make it seem complex yet beautiful and somewhat rhythmic. I like to think that they are positive thoughts that I have hidden in geometry for others to translate in their own psyche. I believe that art and storytelling can create catharsis for the audience. In my artist endeavors, emotional healing is always the most profound goal. I believe that it is the greatest achievement of art itself. Perhaps this is from my film and storytelling background. I hope that people will find a little inner tranquility when they look at my work.” 

Marcile Powers grew up in Bradenton, FL.  She attended Booker High School’s Visual and Preforming Arts program in Sarasota.  She graduated with a BFA in Film.  She is also planning on working on a documentary while in Rome.
