Mary Ann's bio:
Mary Ann Duffy Godin is new in the art world since she spent most of her adult life teaching at Milton High School as a business/technology teacher and raising five children. She retired from teaching in 2004 and decide to build on two drawing courses she had taken—one at the University of Vermont with Ed Owre and the other with Robert Huntoon at CCV, both of whom taught the classical approach to drawing. She has dabbled in drawing but since 2004 has mainly concentrated on the medium of watercolor. She credits Jean Cannon as being a valuable mentor. She is a member of the St. Albans Artists Guild, the STAART Gallery and the Milton Artists’ Guild. She is drawn to even the ordinary whether it be a still life with cloth, the simple beauty of flowers or everyday objects. She celebrates the humble.
