Mary Ann Nation discovered her love for painting about 23 years ago, with classes at the Mendocino Art Center.
“Painting has become for me a way to capture nature
as I see it, and thus to be able to share its beauty with others. I was fortunate to have classes with several very talented artists, such as Hope Stevenson, Erin Dertner and Susan Sarback, who all contributed to my style of loose, impressionistic landscapes and seascapes.”
For her works, Mary Ann Nation uses only a palette knife with water mixable oils. Most of her paintings are done plein air at her favorite spaces, or at locations of her commissioners’ choices. Mary Ann Nation has exhibited her art in Fort Bragg, Yuba City Marysville, and also Colusa, where she lives with her husband, with time to enjoy their three children and four grandchildren
