I have always enjoyed making things. Some of my favorite things to do when I was a child--aside from being outdoors--was playing with colors and shapes using different materials.

I have always enjoyed making things. Some of my favorite things to do when I was a child--aside from being outdoors--was playing with colors and shapes using different materials. My mom would buy me paint by numbers or needlepoint and jewelry making supplies. I learned to crochet. The concept of "artist" never occurred to me. This, despite the fact that my grandmother was a painter of still lifes, animals and seascapes.
Music is something I enjoy immensely and to this day it sets the tone literally for what I make. It helps me realize where I am emotionally which then opens a path to create something. So for me, music is a door to creativity.
After many years of working at office jobs that served to pay the bills, and taking a handful of art and design related evening classes to explore my creative capabilities, I decided to focus on painting to see what was in me and experience a sense of satisfaction that nine to five jobs could not provide. I was willing to make whatever sacrifices were necessary to do this and around 2002, I went all in to making art.
This website has come and gone and is now back again. It is a work in progress. I have made a lot of work since 2002. Most of it has sold. A search on the web will bring up a variety of past work. For now, what will be shown on this site will be current work as of 2024 with a mix of personal favorites from previous years. Anything available will be marked for sale. I will not be offering my work through any other online third party venues nor galleries. I still have a saatchiart.com/maryannwakeley account where many paintings can be seen and are still available, however, purchasing work from that site is not an option now. If interested in something posted there please contact me.
If you are outside the U.S. and interested in purchasing something you can contact me for a shipping estimate.
Thank you for visiting. Feel free to get in touch with any questions or comments.
If you're interested in an artwork or just want to chat, feel free to reach out via email. I'm always open to meeting like-minded individuals and discussing art.
