Maria Tuttle, In Plein Sight® 2018

Maria Tuttle, Oakland CA

Maria lives and works in Oakland, CA. A graduate of the Art Academy of Cincinnati, she is proudest of the solid foundation of technical training that she earned as an undergraduate. Maria has gone on to study literature, creative writing, political science, border studies, and peace and conflict. She has been an educator, writer, and artist for more than 10 years.

As a painter, the technical challenge of painting plein air in oils and watercolors continues to inspire her to explore and respond to the natural world.
