I've been following MaryAnne, her exhibits, and her daily paintings project over the past few months: from still lifes, portraits, animals, to donuts, Ms. Nguyen creates beautiful representations of the world around her in Indianapolis and around the world -- all with the help of her trusty paintbrush. The best part? You can buy her paintings online on Etsy and can check out her other works on her page.
