Rising Phoenix by Mary Jansen

Mary Jansen, NWS, 2024

Portland Oregon

Mary Jansen, NWS Signature Member, devotes her energy to creating compelling award-winning pieces that have been exhibited in local and international shows. She has taught classes and workshops and enjoys sharing her philosophy with others. But her passion remains seated in the still, contemplative hours tending to her avian paintings. Constructing working compositions is a strenuous problem-solving endeavor. Epiphanies will flutter down and perch themselves on the studio stoop, but it is the responsibility of the artist to grasp them and serve their call.
