Mary Ann has been painting for as long as she can remember and has experimented with different styles and textures. She was recently short listed to take part in the Sky Arts 2016 Landscape Artist of the Year competition. 

As an artist, she says she is “travelling on an artistic journey that continues on a never ending roller coaster of discovery.

"I am excited by the magic of paint and never cease to be amazed at the level of complexity and versatility just one brushstroke can achieve," she says.

Her home country, the UK, has been inspirational in her artistic development. Recently the red earth of Australia and the azure of the sea have been feeding her endless curiosity for subject matter to put to canvas.

Mary Ann has featured in several local art exhibitions on the outskirts of London, the most recent being the Leytonstone Arts Trail.

Using both brush and palette knife, Mary Ann has also allowed her long-standing fascination with the sea to come through her work, developing a series of colourful coastal scenes, reflecting her fascination with wind-lashed islands such as Hawaii and Fiji.

"Colour is the key to my work," she explains. "Without colour life would be a very dull place. I feel my job is to project that colour on to walls in generous, daring quantities, providing an uplifting and happy interlude for the viewer."
