Her work may be seen in private and corporate collections, among which are: the US Federal Court House in Las Cruces, New Mexico; the LCBO in Toronto, Canada, the D’Aguilar Art Foundation in Nassau, Bahamas. Primarily a landscape or landscape-inspired painter, Moeser has maintained a full spectrum palette. However, in the exhibit, Blue/Bleu, she responds to an artistic impulse to create using blue and she radically reduces her palette to a dominant hue, viz., blue. Unlike Picasso’s blue which expressed sadness, Moeser’s blue expresses mostly happy themes. Mainly, Moeser’s landscapes are not intended to be specific places. Her subjects are spiritually fertile, sustaining, and rich.They are painted poems or wanderings that reflect a specific moment in time. Her images evolve intuitively. Her compositions seem to border on the line between realism and abstraction. For the viewer, often a personal narrative ensues. The composite elements are intentional and meant to transport the viewer to a place of imagining that only he or she knows. Marjorie Moeser, 2025
