In addition to drawing and painting, I love to write. My articles have been featured on Design Mom, Hither and Thither, and in Milwaukee Metroparent Magazine. In addition, I write the Artists Inspiring Artists blog for Wisconsin Visual Artists (WVA). Below, are more ways that we can collaborate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c7956237a1fbd1f9765393f/1554229509616-B65RNVP0LSEB4MWNPIBA/Creativity+Springs+-+Divider+-+Blue.png Current Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c7956237a1fbd1f9765393f/1554776105408-G6BHQCCQNJZ345X76E2P/Divider+-+Blue.png Current Projects - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c7956237a1fbd1f9765393f/1554349730308-ES13XYFQ4G20WVHZK4H8/Creativity%2BSprings%2B-%2BGray%2BBackground.jpg Current Projects https://www.creativitysprings.com/homepage-intro daily 1.0 2022-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c7956237a1fbd1f9765393f/1659188342211-ZDEPRK7PIQ1GNM4O94A3/Mike+in+the+Hawaiian+Shirt.jpg Homepage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c7956237a1fbd1f9765393f/1659188380341-88O0L8MRXHR1V3O6XAQR/Missing+You.jpg Homepage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c7956237a1fbd1f9765393f/1660573566655-TPQAEUOKY42UPZ6O6XBL/Alice+for+MARN+2022+Members+Show.jpg Homepage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c7956237a1fbd1f9765393f/1662509360647-OQ21UF3OURLFY7B8NJX8/Shades+of+Purple.jpg Homepage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c7956237a1fbd1f9765393f/3beff078-d934-42f7-9b6b-5b84015502ef/Mara+Duckens.jpg Homepage - Welcome to Creativity Springs… the website of Milwaukee-based artist Mara Dučkens.

Dreamer. Lover of imperfect beauty. My formal art education came when I apprenticed artist Jim Prohl at his atelier in Milwaukee. There, I studied figure and still life drawing in the style of classical realism. After that, I earned my master’s degree in art history, traveled to Italy and other parts of Europe studying art and culture, all the while continuing to explore my own creativity. Today, my art focuses on portraiture and figurative work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c7956237a1fbd1f9765393f/1659375785670-M5520IQNTXAFHLG5LJ45/DuckensM_Woman%2Bin%2BPink%2BSilk.jpg Meet Mara https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c7956237a1fbd1f9765393f/1659109041973-6VRD68F7EO0DK3NHSIOT/Duckens_Mara_TheRedCape.jpg Meet Mara https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c7956237a1fbd1f9765393f/1659109086576-F6139H6BAM4T79HL5EQU/Girl+Entertained.jpg Meet Mara https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c7956237a1fbd1f9765393f/1659109150764-79NNJPL8AUV4TRTJC6PX/DuckensM_Woman+in+a+Purple+Scarf.jpg Meet Mara https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c7956237a1fbd1f9765393f/1553788538083-76T8PLU5QHI3A7AFTPET/Divider-%2Byellow%2Blow%2Bline.jpg Meet Mara https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c7956237a1fbd1f9765393f/1553707326476-RRD4TL5S41N6KIZT9HCS/Divider-+yellow+line.png Meet Mara https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c7956237a1fbd1f9765393f/1554349730308-ES13XYFQ4G20WVHZK4H8/Creativity%2BSprings%2B-%2BGray%2BBackground.jpg Meet Mara https://www.creativitysprings.com/artwork daily 0.75 2022-08-02
