My Artist's Bio Page
This is me...Mary Anne.




" a little malarkey about me...
I'm a multi-media artist, whose interest in art began in toddlerhood and simply never let up...I won my first small public art award at five years old.

While growing up, a "steel-construction brat", my family moved constantly and I lived in all of the Western U.S. including Alaska and attended over thirty schools before graduating from high school. My childhood was a blur out the car window...art was the constant.

Initially my formal art education was in Illustration, Design and Art Direction. The University degree, where I studied Stone Lithography, Etching, Serigraphy and Art History, was postponed until after my four children were fledged.

I now make my home in Central Washington State in the Pacific Northwest.



White Raven Studio




Animals inhabit nearly all of my artwork as well as my daily life. White Raven Studio grew out of that connection and from having hand-raised Nevermore, from a squawky baby to a fully fledged Raven.

My award winning artwork is in public and private collections across the US, Japan, UK, Italy and juried art exhibits as far away as Paris and Bordeaux. After my share of shows and selling through galleries from Seattle to New York I've resumed self-representation and enjoy personally connecting with customers.
