returned to teaching art at Glendale El-

her children had studied. Before her re-
tirement from teaching in 2014, Mullan
taught ceramics for a couple of years

Learning Center.

Today her art continues to evolve. Her
touch has become lighter and her brush-
strokes shorter. A recent ocean painting
verges on pointillism.

Mullan relates that she recently took
two classes about Abstract Expression-
ism online. Offered by the Museum of
Modern Art in New York, classes featured
an art history lesson followed by a studio
session in which she practiced abstract
techniques in real time.

“It is inspiring to do more and more
things,” she says, noting that the class led
her to try such techniques as “mark-mak-
ing,” which she says was new to her.

Nevertheless, she plans to paint over
her abstract canvases in favor of Florida
themes. “I’m not an abstract painter,” she
says. 
