Has anyone ever heard of this artist? Can't seem to find anything else other than what Sapphire has found any other ideas?

I came across a reference to Ms. Colucci in this article. Not sure if it is referring to Ms. Colucci as the artist of the print you can link to, or whether it's her mother's work.

thank you i've been looking ,but was't sure if it was Maclene or Marlene. It is a pretty painting for 10 dollars but probably not worth more than that .I would like to still find out more if I can and maybe others on this site can help find out more. Again thanks for your help you got further than I did thank goodness for all the expertise on this site

dhoppy, have yet to find any mention of her in relation to art work.....all about her professional work and association with the White House.

It definitely is her, as you'll notice in the poster she created for the Obama inauguration....... .on the statue to the left of the pic, just at the edge of the pond, her signature on the based below the figure.

Apparently she has done this for previous inaugurations, but I wasn't able to locate pictures of any others. Possibly the inauguration poster sales are fund raisers for action groups she is involved in. Likely this is more of a pastime for her, as her bio mentions art among her interests.
