Marjorie Guyon is a nationally recognized conceptual artist whose career spans over three decades, with work exhibited across the United States and internationally. Her practice, rooted in memory, ancestry, and the reconstruction of national identity, has evolved from early gallery-based exhibitions into large-scale public and civic installations that challenge how history is seen, remembered, and experienced.

Her work has been presented at leading galleries including David Lusk Gallery and G.R. N’Namdi Gallery, and featured in national and international exhibitions such as Art Chicago and the REVEAL Art Fair. Career-defining projects, including The Key, an international traveling exhibition spanning Cairo, London, and New York, and I Was Here, an ongoing national public art initiative, have positioned her at the forefront of a new model of civic-based artistic practice.

Her work is held in public and private collections and has been exhibited in museums, galleries, and civic spaces throughout the country.
