Drop in and meet Maryann DellaRocco, who will demonstrate her technique of creating abstract colored pencil drawings that capture the luminous distortions of light and color on everyday objects.
While most colored pencil artists focus on realism and rendering detail, DellaRocco’s work has developed in a different direction. She explains, “One day my children brought some leaves and berries home and left them on my kitchen table. I was having a drink and I noticed how lovely the light was as it reflected, danced, and was distorted by the glass and liquid. I snapped a few photos and instantly fell in love with the beauty of distortion.”
DellaRocco is a signature member of the Colored Pencil Society of America. Her colored pencil abstracts have been featured in Colored Pencil Treasures andColored Pencil Hidden Treasures. Her piece Orb Weaver won the Conté de Paris/Colart America Award for Exceptional Merit at the 26th annual CPSA International Exhibition and was featured in the International Artist Magazine in the fall of 2018. She has also won a number of juror selected awards.
