Marianne Jaycox/Alkemydia Creative - Visual, conceptual and performance artist and poet/writer Marianne Jaycox smoothly moves between artistic media in a manner befitting the name she has dubbed her operation - Alkemydia Creative.  Her current focus is a unique brand of ‘action painting,’ an abstract expressionist style that was popularized during the 60’s when combined philosophies of quantum mechanics and psychoanalysis began creating new ways of understanding through heightened self-consciousness and awareness. She will also be performing original choreographed dance acts. www.alkemydia.i8.com and www.alkemydia137.blogspot.com.
