Marjorie has lived in Martinsville with her husband for over 30 years. It is where they raised their son; who currently lives with his family in London. She spent over 40 years as a teacher of special needs children, mostly in the Scotch Plains-Fanwood School District. While there, she received The Council for Learning Disabilities “Outstanding Teacher” for North America award. In those days, her art forays were limited to bulletin boards and illustrations for teaching!
Upon her retirement, she enrolled in art classes at OLLI-RU (Osher Lifelong Learning at Rutgers U.) and online classes while working as a private tutor and all of that changed. Her main focus is now watercolors, acrylics, and ink. Her work represented Somerset County and was displayed in the New Jersey State Senior Art Show.
