21" by 26" framed. Marjorie Harper (20th Century) was active/lived in Montana, Missouri. Marjorie Harper is known for Painting, Western genre. When Marjorie moved from Charlo, Montana (population 100) to Kansas City, she began her formal art training at the Kansas City Art Institute. Her father, a self-taught naturalist and well known Montana taxidermist, had been her primary teacher and mentor. At the Kansas City Art Institute she would use pencils, oils and, ultimately, watercolors to perfect her interpretations of Montana's landscapes and animals. A move to Denver allowed her to study sculpture with Cowboy Artist Fritz White and again create her visions of Montana animals. Returning to Missoula in 1976, Marjorie pursued her passions for watercolor, wildlife and horses. Marjorie organized the Montana Dressage & Combined Training Association and the Five Valley's Pony Club. She is a founding member of the Montana Watercolor Society. These organizations helped develop her distinctive watercolor palate for favorite Montana subjects: horses, mules, children and wildlife. Majorie's goal is to paint the perfect horse that gallops off the canvas or the coyote that stalks through the waving grass and tempts the viewer to touch it. Marjorie has received several awards in the MTWS National Water Media Shows, and was awarded signature membership in 2004. She has been juried into numerous shows and her paintings and sculptures are in private and public collections throughout the West.
