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.

Dayton's Urban Nights
I just found out that one of the galleries I'm currently exhibiting at will be featured in Dayton's Urban Nights. My gallery is the Hurricane Gallery Art Exhibit at 1146 West 3rd Street. To quote from the Dayton Daily New's website: " Urban Nights is a free downtown excursion that features self-guided tours of art galleries and studios, unique apartments and condos, and discounts at restaurants and retailers. The event also features a variety of performances by Dayton's best and brightest performing artists, including a special performance by Velvet Crush on Courthouse Square from 9-11 p.m. Close to a hundred creative places and spaces will be a part of the event, including locations throughout downtown, plus the Artists of Front Street, the Oregon District and the Wright-Dunbar Business Village. There are numerous special additions in store for the event, including the debut of City Life, a public art exhibition that will be on display downtown from May 18 to August 17. Twenty of J. Seward Johnson's world-renowned sculptures will be temporarily installed in key areas throughout downtown for the exhibition, which will feature life-sized bronze sculptures that capture human gestures in a realistic way. A World A' Fair, a celebration of diversity at the Dayton Convention Center that showcases food, dancing, and cultural exhibits, will also be a part of Urban Nights. Event patrons will get a taste of the event at a satellite stage at Dave Hall Plaza, and the festivities inside the Convention Center will take place throughout the weekend." Hope to see you there!
