Marie Jernigan, Arts Specialist
Marie is the Art Specialist at the Mable House Arts Center and has been with Cobb County Parks since 2012. Being a southern belle, Marie naturally attended a southern university, Kennesaw State where she received her Bachelors of Fine Arts, concentrating in the wonderfully messy arts of ceramics. Most days, Marie can be found programming events, classes and the gallery at the Mable House Arts Centers. However, when she’s not crushing it at work, she is enjoying geeking out by playing board games, D&D and dreaming of being a karaoke rock star. Contact |
