Artist Statement
Marjorie Schlossman
Artist
Thank you for visiting my site. I want to show you and tell a bit of the story of my career as an artist. There’s some news here about art that I’ve worked on recently, some news that I have about art and the artists around me, and I am especially featuring some of the public art that I’ve completed and have in process. If you have questions, you can give me a call, or an email message. I’m never too far from my computer or phone.

Blast from the 90s

Off to Chianciano
