Fabric artist Marcia Parish featured tonight

Moscow fabric artist Marcia Parish will be featured tonight, May 1, at the Colfax Arts Council’s “Meet the Artist” program at the library in Colfax. After working as a computer systems designer in Washington, D.C., for 22 years, she retired and moved with her husband, Rob, to the town where he grew up, Moscow. She purchased The Needle Nook, a yarn store that had been in Moscow since 1947. Marcia ran the business for 12 years even though at first she did not know how to knit.

She works with fabric, fiber, paints, dyes, beads and many different needlework methods to create interesting and unique pieces, both wearable and displayable. Marcia is inspired by her world travels, by wonderful fabric, by vibrant color and the wonderful artistic environment on the Palouse.
