About the Artist
Marquita Macon calls herself 'Kita' and signs her artwork by that name. Her painting style was developed after many years of experimentation and study. She has taken workshops and classes with many of America's finest artists in oil, pastel and watercolor. For years she concentrated on painting portrait commissions but now she paints primarily in still life and plein-air landscapes. Kita has won over fifty top awards in art competitions across the United States and has been featured in nine solo shows. She is a signature member of Oil Painters of America, Pastel Society of America and Connecticut Pastel Society. She is a member of the Portrait Society of America and local art organizations in Georgia. She was one of five founding members of the Degas Pastel Society of New Orleans, Louisiana. In April 1997, American Artist magazine featured an article by Kita on her indirect painting style in oil.

She currently maintains a gallery and studio in Jesup, Georgia. |
