BIOGRAPHY OF MARJORIE COX
Marjorie Cox was born in 1915 and left school in her mid teens. She enrolled at Miss Beatrice Flower’s Art School and also attended Heatherley’s Art School in London.
She sold her first picture whilst still at school. She is one of the most prolific artists to have worked in this country and is a celebrated animal portraitist, particularly of canine subjects, in her own inimitable style.
She was an old-school artist and moved around the country with little but her sketch pad and a couple of boxes of pastels. In the 1930’s she also worked for Raphael Tuck, the greetings card manufacturer.
Her patrons included Lady Southwell, Lady Tavistock, Peter Dimmock, Phil Drabble, and Nancy Fenwick, who looked after the Queens dogs. She painted seven of the Queens dogs for Mrs Fenwick, corgis, dachshunds, and a dorgi.
