Marsha Zulim Bowers was born and raised in the Central Valley of California. Being in close proximity to the beautiful scenery of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the coast range played an important role in influencing her art style. Her art reflects the beauty and romance of her surroundings. Some of her favorite subjects to paint are landscapes, flowers, garden scenes, wildlife, birds, and seascapes.

Another major influence for her art is her mother, who is also an accomplished artist. From an early age Marsha was surrounded by art and that inspired her to become an artist.

The artist’s skills lie in her diversity of subject matter and mediums. Earlier in her career she painted primarily on canvas with oil or acrylic. She won numerous awards and sold her art locally. One day while shopping at a boutique she came upon a beautiful hand-painted dresser. Inspired, she tried her hand at painted furniture. She fell in love with the art form. Over the next few years she broadened her skills into the decorative art field.
