After many years of classes, workshops, self studies and 
various careers, Mary Ann's art has evolved into her own lively and provocative style. 

Mary Ann paints with oils, acrylics 
and watercolors both in her studio and 
outside on location in the plein air style.

Ms. Schildknecht is currently teaching art at Walnut Height Elementary School in Walnut Creek.
