Mary Anna Goetz

Mary Anna Goetz was born in 1946 in Oklahoma City where she began her art studies as a pupil of her well known artist parents, Richard and Edith Goetz. After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Oklahoma City University, Goetz furthered her studies at the Malden Bridge School of Art in upstate New York; Cape School of Art in Provincetown, MA; and The New York Academy of Art in New York City.

A noted landscape painter, Goetz's work represents a continuation of the American landscape tradition with a special focus on New York city, the Hudson River Valley and the famous art colony Woodstock, New York where the artist maintains her studio. She is also included in numerous other corporate and private collections including Union Pacific, the Union League Club, Hudson River Club, White and Case and the Professional Golf Association.

One-person exhibitions of Mary Anna Goetz's work have been held at galleries throughout the country including Grand Central Art Galleries, New York,  Howell Gallery, Oklahoma City and Newman Galleries, Philadelphia.

A technique book written by Goetz entitled Painting Landscapes in Oils was published in 1990 by North Light Books. In 2006 JCG Productions has released a 90 minute DVD and Video titled A Field Guide to Landscape Painting.  Goetz also maintains an active teaching schedule and is a faculty member of the Woodstock School of Art.

She is also a member of the National Association of Women Artists, and the National Arts Club. Mary Anna Goetz is included in Who's Who in American Art and Who's Who in the East.

She also studied in Provincetown, MA at the Cape School of Art. Her instructors included some of the most prominent artists of the time including Charles C. Curran, Sidney Dickinson, Henry Hensche and Charles Chapman.

The graceful line and delicate shading of her nudes and portraits have led to numerous awards and a successful exhibition record with galleries throughout the country, including Portraits Incorporated, New York; the Jamison Gallery; Santa Fe; and the Oklahoma City Art Center.

Shortly before her death in 1986, Edith Goetz’s pastel paintings were featured in a one person exhibit Pastel Impressions of an Artist’s Heart and Mind at the Grand Central Art Galleries., New York City.

His work is included in public collections including The Oklahoma Art Center which purchased a collection of Goetz’s oils, watercolor, drawings and graphics for its permanent collection in 1979.
