(303) 978-1352	artist of the month: November 2005 Maryann Leake	the e-gallery
Maryann Leake I'm seeking to distill my art work in four areas. Roxborough landscapes, Floral still life , Forest floors, and Koi ponds. A portion of my time goes towards developing art for philanthropic efforts to improve lives through established programs. My good friend Kathy Beach, a writer, and I are just talking about creating children's books together. That would be a dream come true for me. Maryann Leake		"Decorating the Pond"

Maryann is available for commissions through her studio (303) 978-1352 or e-mail artist@baisley.org		"Dark Fish below"

	I flunked watercolor in college. It is my main thirst today. I was born in Delaware. I am grateful for the muddy banks and endless playground of forest it gave me in my own backyard. Exploration of creek and forest demanded most of my attention. In primary and secondary education art become as much of a refuge as the forest. I studied graphics design and advertising at Arizona State University. I joined an advertising firm and remained in graphic arts until my fine arts became more ambitious. I left Delaware in my teens, lived in Puerto Rico for eight years, entered college in Arizona; worked in Tulsa, Oklahoma in advertising, married and raised my children in California. I fell in love with Roxborough, Colorado, where I live with family and friends. My works have been exhibited in Puerto Rico, Arizona, California, Colorado, and Washington,D.C.. I earned a signature membership with the Colorado Watercolor Society. Watercolor is what I hold in focus. The reaction of the elements are exciting, air, water, earth, light, shadow, and life. I seek to capture a small section of nature and add a human touch, breaking the connection of all the elements. I am saying someone came this way and has left something for posterity. Like all artists , what shapes us emerges in our work. For now, the forest and creek of my childhood is emerging and demanding my attention today in the form of the landscapes of Roxborough Park.

My husband Mark and I purchased property in Roxborough Park seventeen years ago and built our house with the help of architect Tom Johnson two years later. My father, George Leake, was so taken by Roxborough he moved out here with my sister and built his house before we moved into ours.		"Day's"
