I achieved a personal art goal in January 2015 by becoming a Signature Member of Northwest Watercolor Society (NWWS). This organization, founded in 1939 in Seattle, WA, hosts two exhibitions each year in and around the Seattle area. Signature membership is bestowed on members once they have had 3 paintings accepted into NWWS shows.

FIRST PLACE AWARD WINNER !! This painting was given first prize by juror Janet Rogers October 2014.

My painting "Here's Looking At You" was juried into the Northwest Watercolor Society Waterworks exhibit. The juror is  Janet Rodgers.

I recently learned that my painting BLISS was selected for exhibition at the NWWS Waterworks 2013 Exhibition. This show opens October 22 at the Tsuga Gallery Fine Art and Framing, in Bothel Washington. A big thank you to juror Michael Reardon for this honor.

Six months later, in April 2014, "Bliss" won an Award of Distinction in the WSO Spring show juried by Robert Burridge, who said "many people might see this image at the beach, but Marjorie PAINTED it!"

I just found out that my painting "Girl with the Butterfly Tattoo" was juried into the Watercolor Society of Oregon (WSO) fall exhibit (juror Linda Doll).  The 80 painting group show will be on display at the Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center from Oct. 4-December 27.

Also, next week I am thrilled to be taking a workshop by prominent watercolor artist Ted Nuttall. His portraits are fabulous plus I will be spending the week in Bend Oregon.
It doesn't get better than that!
