Teaching brings to the surface, years of practice putting it on a conscious level to expand and share. Mary feels that sharing the experience is as important as sharing the material product of art.
The media Mary works in is water media that includes watercolor, and acrylic. Mary has been painting over 30 years, and does not give a date for becoming an artist, because is just a way of life, that is growing and changing as time goes on. Inspiration comes from nature, the human form and imagination. Mary’s work offers a view of life in vibrant color and strives for a level of excitement, and movement that is somewhere beyond what the nature provides. The ability to understand design and color is the strong foundation of an artist and painter, and shows in her work. Understanding the spontaneous nature of water media allows the artist to expand the character of the media, highlighting and illuminating for its own uniqueness, to create the original style that is characteristic of Mary’s art.
