Congratulations Marie! We are so pleased for you to be recognized as the fine artist that you are!
Last night's event was truly unforgettable! We're thrilled to share that the talented Marie Plinsky will be our featured artist for 2026, and her captivating art piece, 'Mr. & Mrs. C,' will be showcased on our posters and t-shirts!
Marie Plinsky, a Topeka resident since 1974, traces her artistic roots to her early years growing up on a family farm. Her rural upbringing influences her artwork, which frequently features depictions of birds and flowers, reflecting her deep connection to nature.
For over 25 years, Plinsky has been an active member of the Topeka Art Guild (TAG), where she has held numerous leadership roles. Currently serving as the Chairman of the Executive Board. Her artistic portfolio includes notable exhibitions such as the Fall Art Walk in Holton, Lawrence's Art in the Park, and multiple showings at Aaron Douglas Art Fair demonstrating her commitment to visual arts.
Marie has taken classes from Susan Duran Wilson in Wichita and Tulsa. Kayann Ausherman's class in Topeka and Haven have added many techniques to her art journey. As many during Covid online YouTube tutorials kept Marie busy.
