Mary Anne’s art draws on the natural and built environments of the Bay Area, where she has resided for 45 years, and on trips throughout Europe, Southeast Asia and the Caribbean.
Her focus on color and composition stems from interior and landscape re-design, home staging and color consulting on over 100 homes as well as commercial projects at the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre lobby, the bar of the San Francisco Yacht Club, a study at the Marin Designer Showcase and two boutique hotel luxury resorts in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Her paintings have been acquired by Netflix and shown at juried exhibitions throughout the U.S. Her art is held in private collections domestically as well as in Mexico and Southeast Asia. Largely self-taught,
Mary Anne learned primarily by studying the work and process of accomplished artists. She maintains a studio and gallery in Mill Valley, California.
