Welcome 2021

Welcome 2021

I can’t believe we are already halfway through the first month of 2021. Anyone else out there who still has their Christmas tree up? All other holiday decorations have been stored away, but I’m finding some comfort in having a Christmas tree still lighting our home. I hope you and yours had a wonderful holiday season. Only 345 more days till Christmas!!

The landscape of 2021 is still unkown, but I am optimistic we will continue to slowly get back to a new normal with vaccines rolling out and people getting back to work. I’m excited about getting back into my studio to create new artwork. My mind is filled with flowers and floral inspired art at the moment. Don’t be suprised if you start seeing some coming out soon.

Spring Anticipation, oil and wax on artboard

Spring Anticipation

Spring Anticipation is a painting I started several months ago and just finished last week. It has a beautiful Spring like feel to it. It would compliment many decor situations, including a nursery or child’s room. And, it would make a fabulous one of a kind Valentine’s Day gift. If you’d like more information on this artwork, simply click on the images above.

For more art suggestions please visit my onine gallery below.

Thank you so much for being a fan of my artwork. I truly appreciate your love and support. You help make my dream a reality. Wishing you many wonderful adventures in 2021!!

Blessings from your artist friend, Mary

New Art Exhibit

New Art Exhibit

Artist friends coming out to support my opening.

My last art exhibit for 2019 opened November 22 at TECO Public Art Gallery in downtown Tampa, Florida. This was my third solo exhibit this year and what a wonderful way to end the year. So many great friends and family came out to show their support. They even listened attentively while I gave a brief artist talk.

So many of you are scattered all over the country, so I wanted to share just a few photos from the evening. And, if you are local and still want to see the exhibit it will be up through January 6, 2020. The TECO gallery is open Monday - Friday from 8 am to 5 pm.

Oil and cold wax paintings

I am thrilled to say one painting sold at the reception and I may have two commissions coming in 2020. So grateful to my wonderful collector and friend Dani, for adding another of my artworks to her collection. There are several mini and small artworks available that would make lovely gifts for the art lover on your list. Just visit my online shop here.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Debra Radke, curator for the TECO art gallery. We’ve been working on this exhibit for over a year now, and Debra did an amazing job curating this show.
