"I strive for my images
to convey a deep stillness and peace that I wish to experience by both painting
and by viewing. Creating a quiet place where one’s spirit may rest and reflect
on it’s own innate stillness, remembering our connectedness through the grace of
natural beauty.”
Marjie has painted in several mediums including acrylics,
gouache, oils and most recently, pastels. Each medium evolving
to the next. Working with pastel has opened up a new dimension to her work. "I
am intrigued with the flexibility and immediacy of pastels and look forward to
years of discovering new applications."
Marjie has studied at the San Francisco Academy of Art, the
Sahli School of Art, Denver Art Museum, Denver Botanic Gardens, and Foothills Art Center. She has studied with Don Sahli, Chuck Ceraso, Jan
Myers, Peter Heineman, Dennis Rhoades, Kathy Beekman, Steve Tracy and Bruce
Gomez.
