Mary-Frances started doing “Morning Sketches” years ago to loosen her artistic muscles after neglecting daily practice for far too long. Now she begins a studio day with a huge pad of paper, a few pastels, and draws whatever catches her eye.

She prefers working from life. If you look carefully, the ordinary becomes magical.

“Dawning” is one piece in an on-going series about the places where we dream.
