About the Artists:

Mary Ann Rozear and Sandra L. Sachs are both studio artists at the Eno Arts Mill, and they will be co-facilitating the classes.

Mary Ann is an award winning artist who recently moved to Durham from Hampstead, NC. Her subject matter is as varied as her choice of medium. Whether using watercolors, acrylics, or oils she strives to elicit an emotional response from the viewer with each painting. Mary Ann began painting in 2002 while living in Blowing Rock, NC, where she studied for six years with many master painters. She was most influenced by Mary Ann Beckwith, Gerald Brommer, and Skip Lawrence, whose philosophy was to encourage each student to paint in their own style. Mary Ann has developed her own unique approach to painting, believing that the enjoyment she gets during the process of painting translates to the finished piece.

Sandra is a self-taught artist with mixed media abstract art being her first passion. Having been an elementary school teacher for 30 years, she is excited to work her way into the Hillsborough art community and be in close proximity with other artists at the Eno River Mill. Sandra hopes to listen to and encourage other artists; as well as one day teach kids about abstract art.
