Brecksville Center for the Arts presents The Evolving Art of Mary Ann Boysen

Exhibit Schedule: May 1 - 31, 2015;Reception Friday, May 15, 7 to 9pm; Artist lecture at 6pm. Free & open to the public.

The Brecksville Center for the Arts invites you to visit our gallery to view “The Evolving Art of Mary Ann Boysen”. From Chagrin Falls, Ohio, Mary Ann has been a watercolorist since 1974. After studying with Florian Lawton and Lowell Ellsworth Smith, she won Best in Show at Gates Mills in April of 1975. Wanting to catch up after years of no artistic endeavor, she painted 10 to 12 hours a day. In 2001, she realized that teaching and traveling were the things that she missed and wanted to do more of, so she began taking students to Europe, thereby being able to paint in the famous places she had studied, like Monet’s Garden, the Streets of Paris and other locations in Provence. Most recently she won the Paul Meunier Award in 2012, Best in Show at Gates Mills in 2011 and First Place at Gates Mills in 2009. Mary Ann is a signature member of the Ohio Watercolor Society.

Classes are offered year-round in a variety of art forms. We are a local non-profit 501-C3 organization dedicated to serving Brecksville and surrounding communities with art education.
