BiographyEdit
Marsh was born October 21, 1890 in Rapid City, South Dakota.[1] She studied at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and later at the Archipenko School of Sculpture. In 1913, she was awarded the American Traveling Scholarship from the Art Institute of Chicago.[2][3][4][5]
Also an illustrator for advertisements, Marsh's work appeared on ad accounts for Ivory soap, Jell-O, Pet Milk, Cataract Washer, and General Electric.[2][6][4][8][9]
In 1917, Marsh hand-painted a billboard overlooking Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street in New York City.[9] During this year, Marsh also designed a World War I poster titled, "Service, Fall In!" The poster was created for the National League for Women's Service. It aimed to encourage women to do their part in the home front war effort, while continuing to keep their household duties.[10]
In the early 1900s, she was commissioned to illustrate an advertisement for the National Board of the YWCA. The title of the poster was "The Play's the Thing," and its message was camaraderie and sisterhood.[8]
