1/25, limited edition photograph, Polar bear at sunset, Churchill, Canada November 2010

As a grandmother, Marjorie fears for our climactic conditions and global warming. She wants people to understand and see these magnificent animals. For her, a picture is an everlasting moment in time to be savored because the moments are all we have. To appreciate their unique quality is to be an optimist.

Last year, Marjorie fulfilled a long time dream to journey to Churchill, Canada to photograph its resident polar bears. Ordinarily very solitary creatures, these bears have become increasingly socialized due to rapidly changing climactic conditions. Entranced, Marjorie spent many hours observing these very beautiful and affectionate animals. She found them to be human in their interactions with each other.

Marjorie's background is in education. Over the past ten years she has nurtured and explored her life-long passion for photography with intense stdy and extensive travels to exotic locales,

She has been fortunate to study with award winning photographers such as Jay Maisel, Vincent Versace and Seth Resnick, which has deepened her appreciation and skill in photography.

Her recent work featuring Maasai, Vietnamese children, and the Churchill Polar Bears have been exhibited in juried shows at the Palm Beach Photographic Centre, in Palm Beach Florida. Last winter Abc Home in New  York City featured a selection of her polar bear pictures from Churchill, Canada.
