Mary Jane Ward is an artist based in Columbus, Ohio. A draftswoman and painter, Mary Jane prefers to work from life, finding the most inspiration in the presence of her subjects, whether sitting in a studio with a model or still life, or immersing herself in a landscape—en plein air. Many cross country road trips have inspired her plein air work. Mary Jane has taught portrait, figure, and studio landscape, and plein air landscape painting classes at the Columbus Cultural Arts Center, and landscape painting classes for the Grand Central Atelier's part-time program. She has taught a master copy class for a small group of painters at the Columbus Museum of Art. She has given drawing and painting demonstrations for many Central Ohio art clubs and groups, including Central Ohio Watercolor Society, Ohio Pastel Artists League, The Riffe Gallery, The Columbus Museum of Art in conjunction with their Ohio Plein Air Society show, and at the Cultural Arts Center as a part of the Columbus Arts Festival.
