Marcos has a B.A. in Studio Art and Psychology from the University of California at Santa Cruz and an M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy/Art Therapy Psychology from Norte Dame de Namur University. At UC Santa Cruz, Marcos studied under Frank Galuszka, Tim Craighead, and Don Fritz, who worked in painting and mixed media using mica, acrylic gel transfers, and beeswax.

Her work is in private collections in Houston, Los Angeles, and the SF Bay Area. Before starting a family she was an art therapist at Houston's First Baptist in the Juliana Poor Memorial counseling center as an LPC-Intern. She is currently a joyous mom of two and an active exhibiting Houston-based mixed media artist, working in water media; acrylic, collage, and at times encaustic. Marcos makes "soul-scapes", surreal landscapes that express her mind, heart, and spirit as well as her response to nature. She occasionally gives back to the community by teaching art therapy workshops at the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts in Spring Texas, and the Jung Center in Houston Tx
