"As a painter, I am interested in finding the intersection of realism and abstraction. In portraiture, it is the greatest
pleasure to try to capture and render and to connect with another."
Marjorie Morton has studied classical painting in private ateliers in Florence, Italy and in Montreal and has exhibited in New York, Rome, Toronto, Florence, Montreal and other cities in the U.S. She was a finalist in the Art Renewal society 2007 International Salon.

Last year I moved to Modica, Italy and have decided to do a series of portraits of people I have met here. This is Olga Romano, a new friend I have made.
