Born and raised in Mexico, Marisela Rumberg holds a degree in International Economics and is a certified Spanish-English interpreter and translator. Marisela’s early instincts in art were shaped by her chef and painter grandfather. Although her mother used to design her and her sister’s clothes, she didn’t become interested in fiber arts until she married and moved to the US. Marisela began taking a few quilting classes and then she really took flight - teaching herself free-motion-quilting and other art quilting techniques. Since joining the Workhouse Arts Center in 2015 and The Torpedo Factory Arts Center a year later, Marisela has become a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT25) and has developed her signature style of incorporating sophisticated fiber arts and mixed media techniques such as eco-printing, wet cyanotype, thread painting, fiber sculpting, abstract drawing and more recently abstract painting, into her work.

Nanette Catigbe is a very passionate self-taught artist with a good grasp on a variety of medium. Her choice of medium for every artwork depends on the mood and aura of the subject. Her connection with art started during early childhood painting her dogs and eventually doing portraits of friends later on. She finds inspiration in nature, the changing of seasons, the randomness of life, and reactions of people to different moments in their lives.
