Hello, I am Cappyj!

Mary Ann Cannella is a fine artist, painting portraits, still life’s, interiors in oils.

She graduated from Tyler School of Art, where she studied independently with Daniel Dallmann and Charles Schmidt. She also worked with Richard Maury in his studio in Florence, Italy. Currently living in Connecticut, her work has been shown in New York, Connecticut, Rhodes Island, Canada and other locations.

Mary Ann Cannella was born and grew up in Philadelphia, PA. She was raised in a large hard working middle class Italian family. Her father was from Brooklyn and her mother from Philadelphia. Mary Ann has four sisters and a brother living in the Philadelphia area.

Mary Ann is the proud mother of four children, Bianca, Michael, Christopher and Giulianna. After her third child, Mary Ann decided to further her education, attending and graduating from Tyler School of Art In Philadelphia. Tyler School of Art selected many of her works to represent the school ’s capabilities and credentials to future students. While she attended Tyler, her work was displayed in the Dean’s office and throughout the school.

Needless to say, this was a a very challenging time in her life and career as a mother, student and artist. Mary Ann not only found the time to be a great mother, she also found the time to attend school and paint. The very first painting she completed won the Rohm and Haas Purchase Prize award and now is housed in their private corporate art collection.

Mary Ann’s current unsold collection of art comprises over ten years of work. During this period, she has not only won numerous awards for her work but also has traveled extensively abroad in search of subject matter for future paintings. In addition, she has worked with Richard Maury, a renown realist painter, during her time in Florence, Italy.

For the last several years, Mary Ann removed herself and work from the public eye. In June of 2008, Mary Ann decided to show her work once again and has embarked on a new creative journey to paint and expand her influence and work in the arts.
