Marian Roth moved to Provincetown in 1982 to fulfill a dream of living and making art in a community of creative people. She has never thought of leaving. “Provincetown has been my muse since I moved here in 1982. It is here that my life as an artist really began.” Well-known in the world of photography for her innovative camera obscura work, Marian’s background in photography continues to influence her work as a painter. "I aim, with my paintings, to achieve the same kinds of feelings I invoked with my pinhole imagery––among them a sense of being in place.” For her work, Marian has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Pollock Krasner Fellowship, a fellowship from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, and was honored with a lifetime award for artistic excellence by Provincetown Art Association and Museum. Most recently she installed a walk-in camera obscura during an exhibition of her work at the Griffen Museum of Photography.
