RÉSUMÉ
MARINA MUSA DELANEY
I am a multi-media artist who has been working in the visual arts for over three decades. In addition to my formal training as an artist, painting conservator, and art historian, I completed a year of study at the Barnes Institute and received fellowships from the Kress Foundation and the Smithsonian Institution. Following my studies, I taught both art history and drawing on the college level for twelve years, until moving to the Ithaca area where I have focussed on independent projects since 2008. In addition to participating in numerous exhibitions, I completed my first novel The Thrift Shop Diary (unpublished) and co-founded the Cayuga Arts Collective — a non-profit artist collective sponsored by the Trumansburg Conservatory of Fine Arts.
