Tre Marsala

Bio: My name is Theresa Marsala and I’m a mixed media artist who specializes in vintage modern analog collage. I’m also an “ephemera concierge” that sources materials for artists & collectors from all over the world. 

I'm happy to have been a child in the 80's growing up in Brooklyn, NY which molds every piece of art I create. Music, movies, cartoons, comics, books & video games have always kept my mind thinking of ways to create exciting images. 

I moved to Jackson, NJ in the early 90’s where I met my best friend & now husband who introduced me to antique/thrift shops and that’s when I started collecting vintage paper goods. 

In my late 20’s I was a PA to an art instructor/comic book illustrator with whom I studied drawing & illustration, watercolor & acrylic painting, comic book & classic art technique, as well as abstract art history. 

During the Covid shutdown I started selling books & magazines from my huge collection to help artists get the materials they needed at reasonable prices on Instagram. I also created the hashtag #vintagemagmondays to bring the vintage & collage communities together while experimenting with collage techniques myself.

I currently live in Lancaster, PA and spend most weekends digging through antique shops and thrift stores looking for hidden gems. 

I was a contributing member of The Sketchbook Project since 2010 and participated in many projects for The Brooklyn Art Library. I’m currently donating mini collage art to multiple Free Little Art Galleries across the country. I’m also a member of Wilder Collage which is a supportive community of collage artists with monthly workshops and open call opportunities.
