About The Artist
- Mary Anne Hoffmann
- Pocatello, Idaho, United States
- 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.

Oh Hooray, a beautiful new painting to admire! I absolutely LOVE the colors in this one. How big is it? The glass bowl is amazing. The sheen on the apples makes them so inviting. Nice job!
Your work (play) is spectacular. That glass is so transparent, it's magical. You continue to amaze and inspire me.
Thanks, guys. First the pic is 8X10. It was my way of working back in after not painting for a while. I, too, love this palette. Thanks again!
