Mary Jane Turan was born and raised in Yellville Arkansas and retired there after 30 years in the medical profession. She lives on the same family property she was raised on and treasures living in the Arkansas mountains near lakes and water. She raised two sons and did all the things families do.

Hobbies and interests include painting, sewing, quilts, photography, antiques (old houses, barns, and collectibles), music, opera, reading and would like to travel the world with life long classmates who are all still close friends.

Art instruction began in pastels and oils after assurance and encouragement from the instructor, family and art friends. My mentor, Henry Ratliff, shared his knowledge and vast art library further inspiring me. After her family, painting became the most enjoyable activity in her life and remains so. She has been a member of the Palette Art League for 20 + years and is passionate about the "Gallery".
