BIO/ARTIST STATEMENT
Mary Maxson is a retired Spanish teacher and alumna of West Liberty High School, Iowa State University and the University of Wyoming. She taught Spanish for 32 years in West Liberty and was a Fulbright exchange teacher for 6 months in Argentina at La Universidad Nacional de Villa Maria.
Among the places she's traveled to immerse herself in Spanish are Spain, Mexico and Argentina. She and husband Ron, a retired history teacher, have two grown sons and two grandchildren. Mary and Ron continue to travel and have been to such places as Croatia, Slovenia, Kenya, Thailand, Mexico, Germany, Argentina, the Caribbean and Middle East. While traveling, Mary’s first priority in packing is her sketch book and watercolors. She first studied art under Karel Cline, but has continued to take workshops and classes in Iowa City, particularly with Jo Myers-Walker.
“I find watercolor challenging. My favorite is drawing, as taught me by Karel Cline. I love the pleasure of drawing something and watching it appear on the paper as if by magic. I take my sketchbook with me almost everywhere.”
