An Introduction to Mari Anne Figgins

Watercolor

I have been involved in creating art since I was young.  Having a father who was an Industrial Designer gave me a chance to experience different mediums and always hear about design and color. Little did I know that would be the direction I took in college, but with a little twist, I majored in Art Education.  My major field was oil painting. Watercolor was my biggest challenge.  After graduating from Western Michigan University I became a traveling art teacher.  I never touched my oil paints again.  Just for fun I took a watercolor painting class and it changed my direction to that medium and yes I too had my struggles with it.  Now I have been teaching and painting for over 28 years and participating in many art shows around the West and have won numerous awards.
