Marbles: A Player's Guide by Shar Levine, Vicki Scudamore
Shar Levine, or Sciencelady as she is known professionally, frequently speaks at Writer's Festivals and at teacher/librarian conferences. Her science presentations at schools and libraries have been enjoyed by thousands of children.
Victoria Scudamore, born in Seattle and raised in San Francisco, makes paintings and mixed media artworks. Intuitive painting is the unfolding of mystery. Victoria uses various materials to explore her thoughts and memories of places visited and lived. Multiple layers are applied, representing the many layers of life. While painting abstractly, Victoria remains aware of compositional elements to bring forth a successful design. The results are deconstructed to the extent that meaning is shifted and possible interpretation becomes multifaceted.Publisher: Sterling (December 31, 1998)
