Marian Vitale

Marian grew up in a creative household in Staten Island, New York. She was the first person in her family to receive a college degree and graduated with honors from the prestigious Hunter College in Manhattan. She went on to receive a master’s degree in Counseling from the City University of New York. Marian has been a guidance counselor, teacher, actress and real estate broker. Her varied professional career took her from education to arts and entertainment. She studied painting at the Art Students League in Manhattan, Snug Harbor Cultural Center, the Elliott Museum and Alizarin Crimson Gallery in Stuart. She is now retired and spends her time doting on her three grown children and their families, all of whom reside nearby in Stuart. She is a proud grandparent of eight and she hopes there will be more to come. Musical and artistic talent runs deep in this family and has been often recognized in the community. Marian has already been a volunteer and a supporting artist of Helping People Succeed for many years.
