No personal information about Marie Fenner is available online today and the Olde South Gallery has disappeared. The single reference to Fenner I could find is a 1970 article on Columbia, S,C. "Historic Landmarks" (2) Fenner published in the Sandlapper: the Magazine of South Carolina.

(1) Halftone is a reprographic process pioneered in the mid-to-late 19th century that simulates continuous-tone imagery through the use of dots, varying either in size or in spacing, thus generating a gradient-like effect.
