Mary Ann Kitchell About

I've loved to draw and paint since I was a child. My selection of a topic for my seventh grade essay on career choice was easy .... "artist"! The challenge of accurately depicting buildings and a love of nature has led to many years of painting wildlife and pet portraits, house portraits, and a collection of note cards. I enjoy what I do ... many times I can't believe I'm paid to do what I love!! 8 comments

Biography

A graduate of Art Instruction School in Minneapolis, I've studied many media. My favorites remain pencil drawing and watercolor.

It is my belief there are no "ugly" or "plain" houses. Some may be larger or more elegant, but all are called "home". Where the heart is. Where memories live. This belief has enabled me to have more than 25 years painting house portraits. The house is the star of the painting, the landscaping the supporting cast that enhances the building. My goal is to create a look that invites you to the front door.

Many of my house portraits are given as anniversary, retirement, or Christmas gifts. A lot of my work is with local real estate agents and gift shops. I've met many wonderful people while creating a wide variety of house and pet portraits.
