Born and raised in Chester County, PA, Marie Piombino was gifted with a talent and deep desire for self-expression through painting and poetry. This, along with her extensive career as a marketing professional in the Aerospace and Defense Industry, defines her very unique combination of left- and right-brain creativity. Her earlier works consisted mainly of watercolor pieces, some of which hung and sold in galleries in both Virginia and Pennsylvania. Marie is currently enjoying retirement in beautiful Naples, FL, where she has been inspired to write and concentrate on her poetry. Her most recent compilation, "A Walk Within," reflects her distinctive writing style, along with some combined imagery.
