Painting by Marjorie Osborne Whorf

"My object has been to delve deeper, always, in an attempt to depict that moment at the seashore, that sunny day, the flora & fauna of a place, the figure that becomes part of the mood, hoping to develop my personal perception and style that will speak to the viewer of my work."

Marjorie Osborne Whorf has a notable background in painting and the arts, beginning her studies drawing from the model at the Mass College of Art while a high school student in Boston. After graduating from the Vesper George School of Art, she continued her studies at the Art Students League with prominent artists of the time: painting with Edwin Dickinson, drawing with Reginald Marsh, illustration with Frank Reilly and sculpture with John Hovannes. While in New York, Ms. Whorf was also a private student with the noted expressionist, Jack Levine. Ms. Whorf found the direction which most appealed to her was the color theory and exquisite work of Henry Hensche, the director and founder of the Cape School of Art in Provincetown.

Ms. Whorf is a member of the Copley Society of Boston, the Plein Air Society of New England, the Provincetown Art Association, the Fuller Museum of Brockton, the North River Arts Society of Marshfield, and the Duxbury Art Complex. She has exhibited at the Boston Arts Festival, the Gramercy Arts Club of New York, Shore Studio of Boston, the Provincetown Art Association, the Fuller Museum, the Duxbury Art Complex, Falmouth Art Association, and the Ogunquit (Maine) Art Association.
