About the Artist
Marjett works in oils, watercolors, mixed media and ceramic
sculpture. The delicate beauty of our natural habitat and its
creatures and the importance of protecting them are a vital
theme of her work, inspired by the diverse environments of
the Northwest and the Southeast.
She has completed several
artist residencies on the coastal barrier islands of Georgia
and the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. These experiences
culminated in a traveling exhibition throughout the State of
Georgia, including the
State Botanical Garden
in Athens, Georgia.
She is represented by the Kirsten Gallery in Seattle, Washington and several other galleries in the Northwest in addition to galleries in Southeast Georgia. Marjett's work is in public and private collections throughout both regions including the King County Arts Commission and Harborview Hospital in Seattle. She has completed a series of public art commissions in Washington and Idaho, among them: the Morrison Center for Performing Arts at Boise State University, mural and painting projects for Bonney Lake, Mercer Island and Graham libraries in Washington and Mary Bridge Children's Hospital, Tacoma, Washington.
Marjett also works as an illustrator, in particular of children's books. She conducts workshops on illustration and in watercolor and mixed media for universities and artist associations. The beautiful, mysterious and fragile nature of the spiritual and fundamental connection between us, our environment and its inhabitants continues to be an important focus of Marjett's work.
