About Marci: Marci first fell in love with Washington County, Maine while visiting her grandparents during the summer months. She felt that someday she would return there to live, but before that would happen, she moved to Texas where she launched her career as a graphic artist and owned her own marketing business. During that thirty-five-year period, she also discovered an innate love of teaching and spent her free time as a literacy volunteer; serving on the board of the Texas Literacy Council and teaching English as a second language. She also taught others how to use design software programs like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop as part of her business. Marci came back to Maine to be near her extended family ten years ago and has been pursuing her love of teaching, education and art ever since.
