The sale of the sculpture I donated to the auction for the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art made a significant contribution to the great success of that event. Thanks to all those who participated, the auction met BIMA’s fund-raising goal.

Splash! 2020
Posted on September 29, 2020
In support of the Seattle Aquarium, I donated my Octopus II sculpture to their fund-raising auction: Splash! 2020.
Thanks to competitive bidding it was one of the highest money-raising items in the auction.
Auctions are a great way to support important local causes.

Connecting with Philip McCracken
Posted on October 23, 2019
Marceil DeLacy shares a special rapport with Phil McCracken’s work and, in many ways, she’s both artistic heir and disciple. She cherishes her friendship with him and his guidance and in fact much of her wood comes from McCracken’s studio.
Recently, after examining several photos of her sculptures, Philip McCracken called her work “extraordinary” and “unique,” and exclaimed that “nobody was doing things like that.” He said that she had “gone over the edge, past craft and into art,” and that, in his words, she had “arrived.” He referred to her sculpture as “finished,” meaning no further steps were needed. Later, after studying photos of her latest sculptures, Phil said, “Whatever Marceil does, you can depend on the highest quality of craft. No question ever.”
In 2019, when one of McCracken’s own sculptures developed a crack and he was no longer able to work, he chose Marceil to do the repair, saying, “Marceil is a perfectionist. She is the best one to do it.”
Regarding Philip McCracken
A major American artist, whose wood sculptures and bronze casts are found in the collections of art museums, public institutions, and private collections across the country and abroad. His War God sculpture is on permanent display at the Seattle Art Museum. In the early 1950’s he had an apprenticeship with the great British sculptor Sir Henry Moore.
