Artist's Statement

Among my latest works are vessels, a black bird or two and a portrait. The work tends to be intuitive, often bringing unexpected discoveries, which may lead to a new series of images.

Marja's work has been shown at the Museum of Fine Arts, the Fogg Museum, the De Cordova Museum, the Fuller Museum, The Rose Museum, the Duxbury Art Complex Museum, the Cape Ann Museum, the Boise Art Museum and the Nicolaysen Museum. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, the Fogg Museum, the De Cordova Museum, the Cape Ann Museum and in numerous hospitals and corporations. Marja has received grants and fellowships from The New England Foundation for the Arts, the Artists Foundation, Ballinglen Arts Foundation and the Mellon Foundation.
