Brooklyn-born Marion Greenwood began her artistic training in 1920 at the Woodstock art colony, the site of the Art Students League summer school from 1906-1922 and again from 1947-1979. She continued her studies at the Art Students League, where she found many of her closest friends and colleagues, and also returned to and exhibited at Woodstock throughout her career. Marion Greenwood is known for her her interest in exotic and ethnic subjects; this led her to Mexico, where she came to the attention of Diego Rivera and Jose Clemente Orozco. That association led to her gaining the first mural commission for an American woman from a foreign government.
