Mother And Child By Marjorie Pesek
Nationally acclaimed for her innovative technique, Marjorie Pesek’s artwork appears to be vibrant oil painting. But instead, they’re canvases of detailed layered images. She blends shapes, color and lighting into the fabric and backgrounds of her pieces.
Through keen observation, Pesek captures the realistic likeness and the deeper essence and personality of her characters.

Pesek studied studio art at Southern Methodist University (Texas), where she developed her layered technique and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from the University of St. Thomas (Minn.) in 1989.
Over the past 20 years, Pesek, Naples, Fla., has perfected her art and has produced more than 500 pieces. This week’s cover, Mother And Child, is from the artist’s collection.
