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

Paintings for Sale at FURNISH furniture in Downtown Bend

October 28, 2016

Super fun to be walking past FURNISH modern furniture and design store in downtown Bend this weekend and see my painting in this cool front window display. Love how bold she looks in there. Best part is.... she SOLD! In fact both of my paintings sold at Furnish "Color Study" and "Yellow Stripes". I'm not sure who bought them but I'm sure they found a good home. So happy to have the opportunity to share my work with the world here in Bend.

Charlie is all ready for Halloween, he's dressed up as a beanie boo!

Studio day....

October 25, 2016

I've been a busy bee painting and getting ready for my November show at Sotheby's. Charlie, one of my studio cats, has been super helpful sitting a little too close to my wet paintings and supervising each brush stroke. Every once in a while he pounces on my brush and ends up with rainbow paws or highlights! Silly boy. This piece was really fun to paint.
