TESTIMONIALS:
I have acquired three of Mary Jo's paintings in the past 2 years. She has a special place in her heart for antiques and roses and you can feel it in the way she paints them.
Melissa, Newport Beach, CA
We commissioned Mary Jo in 2006 to paint a picture of our first home. "1000 Fillmore St" hangs proudly in our new home and is a beautiful reminder of our turn-of-the-century bungalow. We own four of Mary Jo's paintings and are especially fond of her landscapes!
Charlie and Johanna, Denver, CO
We choose to surround ourselves with people we love and things we enjoy. We love Mary Jo and three of her paintings we purchased. Two were acquired to support Healing Odyssey and to keep memories alive of two of our long-time, dear friends whose lives were shortened by cancer. The third painting, "Delicate Balance" is peaceful and beautiful.
Paul and Sally, Irvine, CA
We have been art collectors for years. When a new artist captures our interest, we immediately compare their quality with those artists already displayed in our home. At a recent showing we acquired two of Mary Jo's still life works. They added another dimension to the quaility of paintings we feel honored to possess. We spoke with the artist and now understand what drives her to bring such quality to a canvas.
R and R, Dana Point, CA
I just purchased your "Clementines" painting. If your goal was to bring joy, you have succeeded. Thank you for your inspiring story, too!
Carlene
I treasure my beautiful "Magnolia" painting. It reminds me of the grace, dignity and beauty not only of the painting but of the artist herself. Peace and serenity come through the canvas in all of MaryJo's works. The delicate yet amazing strength of her still life paintings is a lovely reminder of the importance of simple things in our lives. Her painting holds a special place in my heart. And if I could, I would have a house full of MaryJo's paintings!
Mary Jo, New Orleans, LA
MaryJo took a plain little teapot that belonged to my mother and surrounded it with her beautiful roses and other flowers from her garden and created a painting that speaks volumes. It is a daily reminderof not only my mom but of a special friend who took beauty and friendship to a new level.
Kathy, Pewaukee, WI
I have known MaryJo for many years and recently had the privilege of buying two of her paintings. It was very difficult to choose since so many of them spoke to me. Alas, I chose two and can admire them every morning in my home. It is wonderful to have my friend so close to me through her paintings.
Kathy, Vienna, VA
While MJ paints for her own healing journey, I make my own healing journey when I mentally escape to the meadow that she so accurately depicted in her painting, Millers Meadow. She painted it for us in 2008 to capture the view from our kitchen before it forever changed. I am filled with peace and joy when I look at the painting and it hangs with great pride in a special place in my home office. We have acquired 2 other of MJ's incredible works and feel honored to hang her work in our new mountain retreat. Thank you MJ for your incredible contribution to the art world and more importantly for your friendship. Carol and CW Miller, Bellvue, CO
