About

Marjorie Terburg Anderson

Marjorie Terburg Anderson's interest in art began by watching her mother, a ‘Fine China’ artist and instructor, however; she didn’t begin painting in earnest until most of her children were grown
In 1980 Marjorie created, produced, and sold a children’s game, “Choose A Way to Happiness”.  Connie Neiman was the artist for the game board and the cards and pawns that accompanied the game.  This adventure triggered Marjorie’s further interest in art which led to creating other children’s products. In 1989 she began painting watercolors exclusively, which she loves for all the wonderful and exciting reasons every watercolorist knows

Marjorie is a signature member of the Utah Watercolor Society, served on the board, and exhibited in juried shows as well as state and county fairs and the Murray City Arts exhibition.  She has studied with many local and national professionals and graduated from Brigham Young University with a BS in Education

In 1994, her painting titled "House on Cherry Street" was selected by Murray City to be presented to Dr. Po-Ya Chang mayor of Murray’s sister city, Chia-Yi, Taiwan by Murray Mayor Lynn Pett.
