Marjorie has been working with silverpoint since 1985. Silverpoint is an especially challenging medium, but that is part of the allure. The effect of light on a metal line creates a shimmering quality that is quite different from any other drawing medium.

Marjorie's recent body of work titled Black Fields, focuses on crops cultivated by enslaved Africans. These workers labored under harsh conditions and yet, they survived. This is American history that needs to be fully explored and understood.
