Mary Ann Saylor
Oil Painter – Realism and Abstract Expressionism
Mary Ann Saylor received her art training at the University of Florida where she graduated with a BAE degree in Art Education. Mary Ann retired in 2004 after 30 years of teaching secondary art at Coffee High School in Douglas. Upon retirement, she began painting in oils and soon discovered that she loves to paint both realism and abstract expressionism.
She is best known for her landscapes but likes to paint other subjects as well. Abstraction is a special love for Mary Ann and allows her to express herself through color and movement. Mary Ann is a member of the Wiregrass Artists Guild in Douglas.

Hi Mary Ann, I was talking to Regina Coffee Saturday night at our husbands class re-union. She told me that you had retired and were doing a lot of painting. I was hoping to see some of it on this sight. I don’t know how much you know of what I’ve been up to but check out my website and you’ll see. I read that your’e interested in abstract expressionism and so am I. When I painted back in my youth, I painted realistism – I guess I thought that’s what art was. But I’ve gone back to painting in the last 6 or 8 years and I’m totally passionate about abstration – you can see it in my clay work, too. I’ve been working in clay for 32 years – can you believe it – and I didn’t even start until several years after college. I must have been older than you when you taught me in high school!
If you have time send me some photos of your work.
