MARY ANNE DENTE, Black Magic II, oil on canvas, 24 x 24 inches

Join us to hear Mary Anne Dente talk about her journey as an artist. Inspired by the natural world, her landscape and garden paintings strive to capture the vibrancy of nature and the atmosphere of the places she visits on her travels. Glorious colour and texture are dominant elements in her oil and acrylic paintings. A graduate of the University of Toronto, Mary Anne enjoyed a 36 year career as an elementary and high school teacher before moving to Stratford in 2016. She has taken many art courses at Central Technical Art School, Sheridan College, Neilson Park Creative Centre Etobicoke and the Haliburton School of Arts and exhibited regularly since 1991. She continues to teach art to children and adults through her studio in Stratford.
