Painter. A premier exponent of the genre known as 'Pop Art', she shall be best remembered for her numerous pictures of girls in bikinis. The child of a middle class family, she was raised in central Oklahoma, studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and at Oklahoma State University, and moved to New York City in the early 1960s. In an era when art was pretty much men-only, Marjorie set about creating images of voluptuous girls, many of them three dimensional with the breasts and buttocks raised from the canvas. In 1964 she received her first major showing at New York's Pace Gallery's 'International Girlie Show', an event participated in by Andy Warhol and for which Marjorie's sexually-suggestive "Woman with Raddish" provided the banner image. Her paintings were again seen at the Pace in 1964 and 1965 and with time she branched-out into sculpture, specifically 'soft sculpture' which often incorporated ordinary household items. While she built a loyal fan base and saw her work exhibited at several major galleries, there was not a lot of money to be made and thus she supported herself for many years by teaching at the School of Visual Arts, first in SoHo and later in TriBeCa. From 1982 to 1985 a collection of her pieces toured several major venues including the SculptureCenter in New York and the Gibbs Gallery of Charleston, South Carolina. Marjorie continued working, had a number of significant showings, and in later years concentrated on the female images that had built her reputation. At her death her works could be seen in a number of top-drawer galleries including the Guggenheim in New York and Washington's Hirshhorn. Of trying to compete in what was then a man's world she said: "I believed those men who either outright said or alluded to the fact that women weren’t good enough to compete in the real art world. But thank God it didn’t stop me from working. I’ve always worked intensely".
