Marya Osucha

Marya Osucha

Marya Osucha is a writer, arts administrator, and self-proclaimed culture nerd. After trying on a number of homes—including San Francisco, Orange County, and Paris, France—she finally settled on raising her family in her own sweet hometown of Placerville, CA where she (tirelessly) advocates for the importance of the arts in rural communities. When not writing, Marya can be found exploring the wilds of El Dorado County.
