Marjorie Greene Graff: Passing the Plate to a New Generation

Two hands use a tool to carve away a block for printing

Marjorie Greene Graff has spent decades helping keep the tradition of printmaking alive in Pinellas County. A trained printmaker and educator, Graff received her BFA in Printmaking from the Philadelphia College of Art before building a career centered on teaching, collaboration, and artistic exploration.

After joining St. Petersburg College, where she taught from 1997 to 2018, Graff helped develop the college’s printmaking program and introduced countless students to the medium. Many artists in our region credit her mentorship and encouragement as an important part of their own creative journeys.

Alongside Holly Bird, Graff co-founded the 24 Hands Printmaking Collective, creating a space where artists could share ideas, resources, and techniques while connecting new generations to the craft.

Through her teaching and artwork, Graff represents the continued evolution of printmaking in Pinellas County. Her legacy is not only found in the prints she creates, but in the artists she has inspired and the community she helped build.
