Mary
Ann Graziano- Oil and Pastel Artist
Mary Ann grew up in Chicago, Illinois. Having earned
an MFA from NIU in drawing, painting, she became a high
school art teacher. She taught all areas of art including
printmaking, art history, cartooning and photography.
This helped her gain a wealth of experience not only
in teaching but also in each discipline of art.
Aside from her teaching abilities Mary
Ann is also a professional artist. Many of her pastel
drawings and oil paintings have brought numerous awards
and purchases.
Recently, she has joined the
artists in New Mexico to enhance her artistic and
teaching abilities by opening an art gallery and a
school. Continuing to draw and paint, she always strives
for perfection using new and different techniques.
New ideas will help her reach new horizons using subject
matter from new surroundings!
