Mary Beth Schiros

Visual Artist

I am a firm believer in the idea that creativity is a universal part of life.  The process of making art is an opening up of ones self, to the community.  Teaching art is the process of giving a part of your self to that community.  I share my art and how to make it, for the pure enjoyment of connecting with other and watching an idea grow.  I also believe that creativity can be nurtured but needs to flow freely from the soul. The freedom of creativity can only be self realized.  For creativity to flow an artist must learn how to tap into ones self, with out reserve, without self criticism.  There is much learned and absorbed by our eyes and our minds, which are beyond verbal description.  Art is a visual description, whether it is simple, beautiful or strange, it is a way of showing something that words can not.  I visualize and dream in color, so when my paintings sing with color, I am hoping the tune stays with the viewer.
