I'm inspired by naturally expressive drawing filled with pure color. My goal is to imbue the paintings with a sense of joy, surprises, and playfulness. I'm usually not making a statement or reaching for anything very intense. I'm simply saying, "This is a wonderful, amazing planet and I'd like to share how I see it."
Most of the work is painted with oil, a few with acrylic and watercolor and they're painted from life and/or imagination.
Mary painted her first floral still life about 15 years ago and hasn’t stopped picking up a brush and paints when a new bouquet enters her home or when walking by gardens. They engage her love of color and freshness.
