Hello!

Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to visit my site.

Fun Fact ... Did you know I used to be an art teacher? I also used to write a blog for parents, teachers, and caregivers of young children called Pink and Green Mama. I spend my time here now, making art in my studio and sharing my work with the world, but I would like to invite you to look at my Art Lesson Ebooks in my shop if you have young children in your life and want to share art and creative experiences with them. They are packed with all kinds of hands-on ways you can CREATE, PLAY, and EXPLORE with them!

xoxo MaryLea

The Blog Starts Here!

So great to have my family here to support me for my show at Natural Edge Furniture.

Layers and Edges Art Show at Natural Edge Furniture in Bend, OR

July 30, 2016

The opening reception for my show at Natural Edge Furniture was a smashing success. Despite the heat, we had a full house! I set up a kid's activity station, Natural Edge provided refreshments and I sold three (!) of my paintings. Thank you to everyone who came out to support me and toured the show. We had a great time at this Family Friendly event. I appreciated the write up in my favorite local blog Living the Bend Life. An extra special thank you to Natural Edge for hosting my favorite show of the year. I love your space and can't wait to come back next fall for my September 2017 show!
