About mbwilsonart

I’ve been drawing, painting and sculpting for more than 50 years and teaching, drawing and painting for 20 years. As a teenager I began to study to be an illustrator where I had classical training in the fundamentals of drawing and painting realistically, which I still use in both my own work and is the basis of my teaching. After graduating from the Boston Museum School I set up a studio in Waltham, MA, where I still work.
