While at Sunset, she prepared her first major exhibit, which was shown at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 1965. Living in Oaxaca, Mexico, for a year resulted in another one-woman exhibit, at the Oakland Museum in 1966. In 1968, Marion Patterson began teaching at Foothill and De Anza Colleges in California, later becoming chair of the Foothill photography program. She has taught workshops for the University of California Santa Cruz Extension among others.
Marion Patterson now resides in the northern California coastal town of Gualala where she continues to photograph and paint.
Her photographs have been widely published and exhibited nationally and in Mexico, Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands. Her travel and fine art images range from images of Antarctica, the American Southwest, North and South America, China, Tibet, among others. She is particularly known for her close-up photographs of what she calls the Intimate Landscape.
