Abstract Seascape

Not sure if an original artwork or some kind of hand colored print. The paper has random raised and depressed texture.
One of the writings read ' proof for my family ....' so that is why I am thinking maybe a print. But it does appear to be hand colored.
Will take better photos later.
Can someone give a try with the signature?
Thanks

 

I don't think you're going to find this artist listed anywhere.
Whom ever she is "proof for my family", is something right out of art school.

 

Could be a student work and I may not find the artist listed anywhere but I don't see a correlation between the two.

All I can read from the name is Mary. Also, I cannot figure the word

between "family" and "with love".

 

Ah. The name of the artist is Mary Ann, then she writes "to...." that other name " Fabioszewski? with love."

I don't think her own surname is in there anywhere.

 

ok, I see Fabi(o)szewski now but how about the words after Mary Ann?

 

Ray? Weave? Weade? Wendesler? and then something like Imp?

Does the Fabrioszewski name come right after the "Imp"?

 

The lower left is the title " The memory of home", the middle " Proof for family Fabiszewski with love" and the lower left with "Mary Ann ..... '93".

 

I think I found her
Mary Ann De Buy Wenniger

 

AH! That makes more sense. I see the "de" now.

 

I see that she did "collographs". Never heard of those but I guess that is what I have.

 

Which explains the "Imp" at the end.

 

Well, not a world famous artist but not "something right out of art school" either

 

Good!

 

This website offers a great explanation of what an artist proof is:

https://rimrockart.wordpress.com/2009/12/05/whats-an-artist-proof/

A collograph is a collage of materials pasted onto a surface. It is usually sealed with a coating of acrylic or some type of shellac. This becomes the "plate" to use for printing. The artist paints the colors on the plate and presses paper onto the surface to create the print either by hand or press.

Your print looks like some type of encaustic was used.
