Hello!
MY NAME IS MARY FRAN ANDERSON and I reside in Oregon.
Every day I am excited about making art! I even dream about it at night!
Specifically, I am in love with any water media type art on various substrates.
My paintings combine lively color with scenes of people, buildings, and landscapes.
I often add color where it doesn’t originally exist in the subject manner.
I like to incorporate texture through the use of various tools, brushstrokes, and paper.
My application of the use of line in various shapes and sizes with solid shapes in between, give my paintings a feeling of energy and movement.

Shows have included the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies Spring Show, Oregon Society of Artists Rose Festival Shows, the Watercolor Society of Oregon spring and fall shows, and the Women of Watercolor (WOW) spring and fall shows.
