Artist’s Statement
Artist Statement Maryika Welter
“Being an Artist is a lifelong Apprenticeship”…
As a mixed media artist I have an active arts practice spanning some thirty years. Life Drawing has been one of my many focuses throughout my career. It is a fundamental skill in drawing and an activity I often return to as a re grounding before venturing into a new or reworked concepts.
