About	Marianne is reported to have passed away in 1984 in San Francisco from cancer. She was married to Mitchell L. Boers in San Mateo, however the date is unknown at this time. Marianne was a celebrated water colorist who turned ordinary grocery store items into art, as well as painting different things along the way. The link below will tell you about her amazing, but short life. It's a worthy and lengthy read. Here is one excerpt: "She was born in 1945 and her name then was Marianne Kellogg. She grew up in San Mateo, California. Her mother was Anne Franzia — of the Franzia Brothers Wine Company family. Her father was Charles Jordan Kellogg who worked as an advertising executive for Safeway. Knowing that her father worked for a supermarket chain, makes her choice of subject matter seem suddenly more personal. She married Mitchell Boers (also from San Mateo) and they had a son. I’m not sure of the dates. One date we do know: Marianne Boers died in 1984 of cancer at the age of 39." https://beachpackagingdesign.com/boxvox/reynolds-wrap-week-day-5-marianne-boars ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here's another link that shows one of Marianne's paintings of a pink car. Here is some of the text from this link: "The American painter Marianne Boers studied at Immaculate Heart College, Los Angeles, and San Francisco State University. A student of the American Photorealist painter Robert Bechtle, she was one of the first Bay Area Photorealists to specialize in watercolour (sic), and frequently depicted rows of packaged goods singly or on supermarket shelves. Boers exhibited throughout the United States." https://www.carlsonartprojects.com/marianne-boers
