Marjorie Vickers Very (1896-1985) was a well-known painter and illustrator of Beacon Hill and Boston cityscapes, as well as more rural views of New England, New York, New Jersey, Maine and West Virginia. Born in Hyde Park, Massachusetts, she was a student at Carnegie Technical School of Design in Pittsburgh, the Boston Museum School, and the New School in Boston. She was the first woman accepted to the Boston Watercolor Society, and was also a member of the New York Water Color Club, the Boston Water Color Club, the Copley Society, the Gloucester, Rockport, and Provincetown Art Associations, and the Glendale, California Art Association

Marjorie Very did book illustrations that included "The Marble Faun" by Henry James, Conrad Aiken's "Nocturne of Spring, Remembered", and "Rainbows and Echoes from Fairyland" by Dorothy Whipple. She was also a teacher at the New School in Boston from 1920 to 1924, and taught privately throughout her career.

She had many summer painting trips to Gloucester, Rockport and Provincetown, Massachusetts and to the Gaspe Peninsula and Quebec in Canada, to rural New Hampshire, Maine, Virginia, and Connecticut, and Staten Island, New York.
