Mary Ann Ohmit

Mary Ann grew up in rural Minnesota, wandering the woods and streams of her parents' farm.  Some of her earliest memories are of drawing May flowers, violets and irises that grew wild along the creeks.  She learned to love the beauty of the land in all of its seasons and changes of mood.
 
Working as a full time artist in her studio in Covina, California, fulfils a life-long dream.  Following in the footsteps of the California impressionists, Mary Ann captures the subtle colors, the moods and light changes of early morning or the last light of  evening;  the burnished look of hot, bright days, the golden  sunsets of winter.  She paints the play of light and shadow on her subjects, capturing the mood, the dramatic moment.  Cloud-streaked sunsets, misty mornings, or the soft light of spring mornings are all subjects for her work.  Mary Ann is an avid gardener, expressing her love of nature with a continuous display of changing color.
 
Mary Ann has participated in a variety of art shows, many of them juried.  She has won many awards for First Place, Painting of  the Year, and Best of Show.  She has won the Don Miles Award for Best Landscape in Any Medium in the San Gabriel Fine Arts Show in 1998, '99, 2001, '02, '03 and '04.  Her work has been accepted for exhibit in the 2001, 2003,, and 2005 spring show of Oil Painters of America, and the 2001, 2002, and 2003 shows of Women Artists of America.  Mary Ann is a member of Oil Painters of America and Women Artists of the West, and is represented by several galleries throughout California and Minnesota.
