Mary Jane’s signature style is apparent in all of her watercolors. She uses saturated colors and pays special attention to light reflection, which brilliantly adds dimension and intensity to her paintings. One of her most favorite pieces is a still-life of sliced watermelons and it’s titled, Sweet and Juicy. "I like bright colors. Most of my paintings are done in bright colors. I just like it. I like the colors and the composition. I think this painting makes you happy and makes you want to bite into a fresh piece in the middle of a hot summer day.” 

Mary Jane has other creative talents as well. She studied interior design at the University of Minnesota and received an associate degree in interior design at Post University. She also does interior design for her own clients. Plus, she’s a Color & Design Consultant at Rings End Lumber at the New Milford and Danbury locations and visits the store’s clients at their homes. Several of her paintings have been purchased by her residential and corporate clients in Connecticut, New York, and Michigan. PVA
