Marie-Luise Vaughn

Marie-Luise Vaughn, professional artist, born and raised in northern Germany.
During my youth, I traveled extensively throughout Europe enjoying the sights of London, Florence, Venice, Amsterdam, Paris and Athens. It's been a journey of discovery for me. To see the awe inspiring work of Michelangelo prompted me to I study art and the creative process at art schools in Germany during the 1980's.
In the following years I have attended various art workshops.
Over the years, I have evolved from working with charcoal, graphite pencil, "diving" into water colors and today, I enjoy creating abstract acrylic paintings.
I have discovered that creating vibrant, bold, colorful abstract acrylic paintings is where her heart is.
My true passion!
You are looking at the results.
On a more personal note, my hobbies are exploring the Colorado mountains. I still visit Germany regularly, specifically my home state of Schleswig-Holstein in Northern Germany which is wedged between the North Sea and Baltic Sea. A small strip of land that has its own unique traditions, culture, food and flair.
