About Marjory Wilson
Biography
" In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous." Aristotle
I believe everyone should own original art. Art is a stroy, an
inspiration, a feeling or emotion that we all relate to in our own
individual way. I pick particular views based on how they affect me.
Often it's how light and shadows create shapes and images, sometimes
it's the beauty of looking at things close-up, or the repetition of
shapes or lines that create a pattern. I paint with acrylic paints, I
actually like that they dry fast, it keeps the color fresh and I can
build the painting with layers. I mainly paint botanical images and landscapes
but I also paint figures, portraits...whatever inspires me.
Born and raised in Colorado, I began my study of art as a teen at Rocky
Mountain School of Art. I attended Colorado State University, but
received my BFA from California College of Arts in Oakland, CA. Always
in the creative mind, I spent many years in marketing and advertising
first as an illustrator & designer, then art director, creative
director and agency owner. But painting has always been my joy,
relaxation and passion. Over the years I continued my art edification at Art Students League of Denver, Rocky Mountain College of Art, Colorado Art Institute,
Arapahoe Community College and Pacific Art League.
