  Maryann Ragen " I am drawn to the play of light, shadow and color in the scenery, shapes, and figures around me. More, when I see a face that cries out character, I can hardly wait to capture the reality of what I see. The joy of laying down rich colors until the subject, as I have seen them, comes alive on my canvas keeps me energized."
