Meet the BOMH Board – Marcia Menendez

Name: Marcia Menendez

Role on the Board: General Board Member / Instagram

Joined the board when: Dec. 2015

Why you joined board/goals you hope to accomplish? Best of Missouri Hands is such a great organization. I feel I have learned so much since joining and I wanted to give back and help others in the same way. When I first juried in, I remember setting up at a show and proudly hanging up my Juried Artist banner. The artist next to me saw that and struck up a conversation. He had been a juried member for many years and didn’t know me. When I proudly told that I had just juried in the previous month, he and his wife, who is also a juried artist, welcomed me with open arms, REALLY. They both gave me a hug right there. I want others to feel the same about this wonderful group of artists as well.

Other organizations you are a part of? No other art related organizations.

Hobbies other than the actual art you create: Reading, running, and working out are other things I enjoy doing.

If an artist, your medium: Fiber

Brief description of your work: I make deconstructed and reconstructed clothing, obi belts, purses with skulls on them, hand dyed scarves and kimonos.
