Mary Ann has a rich background of art education which has led her artistic journey since she moved to Maui, into numerous recognition awards in the State of Hawai’i.
Seeing magic in the world, Mary Ann strives to translate the concept into ceramic artwork. Having studied ceramics in college, she delved deep into exploration of this medium when she moved to Maui where she found inspiring teachers and started a ceramic studio. Mary Ann uses shape, texture, and pattern in response to nature – earth, wind, water, and fire. Using a variety of clays, surface techniques, and glazes, Mary Ann entrusts her creations to the final step of the process, the firing of the kiln, and loves the surprise of unique characteristics that occur. The more complex the idea or process, the more she delights in the art object when planning; luck, determination, and serendipity come together.
