Mary Downe

Artist's statement

My paintings are an attempt to embody a quiet celebration of nature and its powers to renew and bestow peace. Colour, whether bright and joyful or subdued and peaceful, is the most important element in my work. I am interested in exploring the complexities and interplay of colours, patterns and textures. I am fascinated at watching the light in my garden change during the course of each day and throughout the seasons.

I have exhibited and am collected both nationally and internationally.
