"Monroe County Artist Selected to Pain Series of North American Flowers," Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Daily Herald Telephone, July 23, 1974, p. 13. NOTE: The item below was abstracted by Randi Richardson from the original that was accompanied by one photograph. Mayrose Wampler, 36-yer-old artist of Monroe County, was selected to create the Griggsville Wild Bird Society's 50 paintings of North American flowers. Although Mayrose has been painting most of her life, and has taught art, she began to devote herself exclusively to painting only a few years ago. Her professional training was mainly in the field of education. She has paintings hanging in many private collections in many states and has won several major awards. Mayrose was born in 1937 near New Harmony, Indiana, in a log house. At Indiana University she studied to teach English language arts and art. In 1960 she married Fred Wampler and they had four children by 1967.
