"I loved it!"
Jennifer Russell, editor
"... In an eloquent way, Marcia Friedman has managed to bear witness to the Cuban panorama because she handles photography with an aesthetic sense and impeccable functionality, to which she adds a literary visibility."
Ena Curnow
Diario Las Américas
​
"... Rauschenberg's creations suffered from a disconnection from reality... Friedman's work raises the curtains that conceal what lies hidden in the everyday challenges faced by Cubans. In its pages, North American photography enthusiasts will find the answers to many questions raised by this tragic period within the last bastion of orthodox communism in the western hemisphere."

About the Artist . . .
“I refer to my art as capturing a mood, a scene, or fleeting dream. Perhaps it is a detail of life, perhaps a setting, colors in nature, or beautiful objects and places that give me pause and stir my imagination. I certainly cannot compete with the awesome beauty of nature, but I can conceptualize it from an artistic perspective and express the beauty of life through my particular vision."
Marcia Friedman's creative work has been featured in close to 100 magazine and newspaper editorials and collected by numerous galleries, individuals, and corporate clients. Some of her noted art clients include Wynn Resorts/Las Vegas; Atlantis Resort/Bahamas, Princess Cruises, and McGraw Hill Publishers.
A Bachelor of Arts degree as a Russian language and literature major hardly laid ground for the creative arts. However, during her earlier years as an international flight attendant she was afforded large segments of free time to explore her creative interests. Initially it was as a fashion designer and in addition to having her own company she was asked to design for Givenchy; Calvin Klein used her swimwear in an early commercial; and was a consultant to other prestigious brands. Eventually her creative and aesthetic sense manifested itself in fine art. Initially it was in photography, which then segued into painting. She then integrated the two and as new mediums continue to evolve so does her creative process.
About Pets...
Her heartfelt concern extends to all animals, not just pets. She knows firsthand how pet lovers are so deeply attached to their pets. They enjoy being with them, miss them when they are not, and seeing pictures of them makes them smile. But simply a portrait of one's pet did not have the depth she wanted. It became obvious to her that the solution was to put clients' pets in her contemporary art so that they were part of the picture. Hence, her new collection Reigning Cats & Dogs was born.
