About Me
- Mary Anne Hoffmann
- The quote "Art is the only way to run away without leaving home" by Twyla Tharp, best describes the attraction to every part of the painting process for me. Having painted for nearly 25 years intermittently while raising 3 valuable citizens, I took up the endeavor nearly fulltime in 1990. Soaking up art history and technique books, taking workshops with Coleman Cohen, Gifford Nicolaides, Susan Gallagher, Michelle Chrisman, J. K. Drummond, Leo Neufeld, Joe Lorusso. My inspiration is whatever touches my heart. I admire the work of The Boston Women's Artists Guild, the California Impressionists and such contemporary artists as Greg Kreutz, Susan Lyon, Thomas Buechner, Clyde Aspevig. I keep my drawing board occupied with plans for still lifes, floral portraits, and scenes from travels; keeping my enthusiasm vital and fresh.
That is one of the most beautiful renderings of that piece I've ever heard. So lovely and haunting, and perfect. Thank you for a road trip to write home about. You are amazing on so many levels. May you continue to glow in the dark. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love this piece. So stirring, yet peaceful. I loved every minute I spent with you. I feel inspired and now, every time I pass by one of your pictures on my wall, I say hello to you and marvel at my good fortune.
