Marianna H. Ross Daytona Beach Artist

EXPRESSIVE COLORS OF MARIANNA HAMILTON ROSS

Early exposure to the lush colors in her parents' California gardens underlies her love of Nature's strength and beauty now found in the Florida landscape. Botanicals, gardens, forests, and irregular tree forms of the Southeast  combine with emerging/hidden figures in her transparent watercolor paintings and luminous colors of dyes on silk.

Marianna received an MFA in Painting from the University of Arizona, a BFA in Painting and Printmaking from the San Francisco Art  Institute, and a BA in Art from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Important influences were her teachers, Richard Diebenkorn, Jack Beal and Sondra Freckelton in composition, as well as  travel to Papua New Guinea, Indonesian batik factories,Italy, Mexico, and Peru.
