The wet-on-wet family tree grew far beyond Bill Alexander’s TV studio. From Diane André and Tom Anderson to modern painters like Marion Dutton, Dana Jester, and the students of today, this is the real modern art movement—everyday artists carrying forward a legacy of joy, color, and possibility.

Marion Dutton’s art is as inspiring as she is. At our upcoming Open House, you’ll be able to see her original Winter Creek — a 2023 acrylic landscape that captures the calm beauty of a snowy stream. Marion’s warmth and creativity shine through not only her paintings but also her teaching with MazArt Academy . Explore Winter Creek and other originals like Golden Meadow, Gentle Eyes, and Golden Winter Whispers in person.

Meet Marion Dutton — master painter, founder of MazArt Academy, and Bob Ross-certified instructor. She’s not just teaching the world to paint; she’s still creating stunning originals full of light, depth, and story. In this post, I share why I admire her, showcase a few of her available paintings, and invite you to explore the work of an artist who’s as inspiring as she is skilled.
