A site to find out what's going on in my art business and to talk about my art.
About Me
- Mary-Anna Welch
- Beavercreek, Ohio, United States
- Mary-Anna Welch is an artist from Beavercreek, Ohio. Upon receiving her BFA and MA from the University of Illinois in Art Education, she shared her love of art in the private and public school systems for over 10 years. After experimenting with several different mediums, she has rediscovered her passion for painting and has settled on watercolor as her main focus. Her work in watercolors has evolved from the very abstract to a more graphic, non-traditional interpretation of her subject. She has incorporated her painting techniques that she used in oil to blend color on the canvas and translated these in her watercolor painting. This results in a blend of traditional colors and images with contemporary styles and forms. When asked about her subject matter, Mary-Anna responds, “I have a black thumb and can not grow anything but weeds. By painting my garden I will always have a rainbow of colors to enjoy no matter what season it is.” Mary-Anna continues to share her love of art by teaching art classes in her studio and at the local art center. You can find her busy painting in her studio or out at gathering ideas in a nearby garden.

My Trip to Nashville, IN
I just got back from a road trip out to Nashville, Indiana to check out the art galleries and have a girls night out with my good friend Jo Ripley (she works primarily in pastels). We had a great time! Unfortunately, Nashville is a tourist town and most of the shops are closed for the winter. We'll just have to go back in the Spring and check them out again. We did a lot of brainstorming about our businesses and I've got tons of things to work on. I've decided to take the year off from doing festivals and concentrate on the business end and creating new paintings. For those of you who have come to Grove City to see my work at the Peddler's Junction, I'm sorry to report that the business has closed. However I'll be exhibiting my work and will be posting it here. My next exhibit (which I just found out about this morning) will be at Swisher's Too...Cafe in the Fifth-Third Building in Dayton, Ohio during the month of March. More information will be coming as soon as I receive it!
