Marjorie Arnfield

Marjorie Helen Arnfield, was an English artist who specialised in both industrial and rural landscapes, painting in oil, acrylic and watercolour. Her landscapes, particularly her paintings of Provence and Spain, are characterised by vivid colours and an impressionistic style. In an interview in the magazine Artists & Illustrators in 1998, Arnfield described her palette of colours, which included ochres, burnt siennas, cadmium, viridian, reds and blues, as "colours that sing". Her other work included paintings of British coal mines and floral art. She was awarded an MBE in 2000 in the Millennium Honours List for services to British art.
