FEATURE ARTIST: Maria Winkler

My new series is called “Fur and Feathers”.
Thanks to the generosity of Linda Hall, our
talented resident bird photographer, Linda has
given me permission to use her photographs of
birds and other critters as a resource for my
series. From this series, selected drawings and
paintings of birds native to our area will be on
display during the month of August at Archival
Gallery in a show called “Feathered Friends.”

I work in various media, but I prefer colored pencil, and acrylics on paper or canvas. A
retired Professor of Art, I can’t stop teaching, and offer semi-private drawing classes at
The Retreat, when we are not in quarantine. I really enjoy sharing my knowledge and
have been so pleased at the progress and talent of those who have taken my classes.

Besides exhibiting, I also do public and private commissions. My most recent commission was
for Kaiser Permanente in South Sacramento. The painting was installed in February 2020.
