Mary Jane Volkmann, Artist
I am captivated by the diverse sea of faces and lifestyles in our human family. I am humbled and inspired by the exquisite beauty of the natural world which supports us and is entrusted to our care. My paintings stem from my observations and quiet contemplations, whether I am painting “en plein air” (outdoors) or in the studio.
I paint in oils, acrylics or watercolors, teach painting workshops and undertake varied commissions and other artistic projects.
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, I spent most of my adult life in Africa, relocating to Gainesville in 2002.
