Phoenix Artist Guild Meetings

   I have had a passion for art for as long as I can remember.  Beyond drawing  with crayons and markers, my first medium was pencil and colored  pencil. I didn't start painting until 2015  when I discovered watercolors for  the first time. I have developed a true passion for watercolors.  I love the  challenge of working with the water and letting the white of the paper  show through with the lightest parts of the painting. I will paint any  subject that inspires me but I especially enjoy painting portraits from  photos.   Currently, I am teaching a weekly watercolor class in Phoenix. I have an  associates degree in Graphic Design and I am a member of the  Contemporary Watercolorists of Arizona, American Watercolor Society  and Arizona Watercolor Association with signature status.  I have entered  many local and national art shows and have been awarded 1st Place,  People's Choice, President's Choice and merchant awards for my  paintings.  Find me on Instagram @mdrogaz  

Marion will be demonstrating a watercolor landscape. Even if you have not explored watercolor as a medium, I know you will be interested in seeing her work and will learn a lot. She is a first-time demonstrator for PAG .
