Marsha Borden is an American artist and writer whose work spans traditional and contemporary approaches to fiber. The intent of her work is to carefully communicate - through cloth, stitch and words - social, political and personal themes.
Borden is self-taught. She holds advanced professional degrees in education and psychology and has recently studied at Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, Rhode Island.
She has exhibited locally and nationally; her art has found homes in private and corporate collections. Her writing is published in national peer-reviewed school psychology journals and in the historical needlework periodical PieceWork.
Born and raised in upstate New York in a log cabin her Dad built from scratch, Borden currently works from her studio in Erector Square, an artist’s enclave in New Haven, Connecticut. She blogs about her projects at www.marshamakes.blogspot.com.
