Waco, TX
Marjorie Parker is a multidisciplinary artist and photographer on a healing journey inspired by the clouds, colors, and chaos of a 1980s West Texas childhood.
MessageMarjorie Parker (b. 1979) is a Texas-based multidisciplinary artist working with watercolor, acrylics, mixed media, and photography. She constantly experiments in many other forms and collaborations. Her artistic journey started at an early age as a means to make sense of a chaotic world, taking inspiration from the skies of west Texas, pop culture, media, fashion, Texas music, and her European heritage. Marjorie graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in advertising and previously worked in media and publishing. She only recently began to pursue art as a full time occupation as a way to survive and heal from grief and a series of difficult life changes. In a short time, Marjorie has found an audience for her cheeky, colorful, and maximalist style in Texas and internationally.
Statement
I create as if my life depends on it. My work is a healing journey; a cosmic nebula of survival, grief, joy, nostalgia, laughter, and emotion expressed with light. Creation is more than just a painting a picture: I'm an alchemist sharing my stories to bring light into the world.
