Contemporary Landscape Artist

Mary was born in London and studied Fine Art at the Norwich School of Art and Design graduating with a Fine Art B.A (Hons). She has lived in East Anglia and on the south coast, areas that have greatly influenced her work, and now lives close to London.

Mary paints dramatic impressionist and abstract landscapes which are inspired by her love of the countryside and the many and varied places she has visited, creating the atmosphere and feeling of a place with the use of texture and light. Her acrylics are painted on paper, canvas and wood each of which give a different intensity of colour and a strong texture but also the soft contours that combined with soft blending suit the space and changing mood of her subject matter.

“I paint with an emotion that each landscape is unique and locked into an interpretive one moment in time. I see a landscape as evocative, a place that can provide memories but where we can all interpret something different even looking at the same scene. I aim to depict the sense of space and mood in something so vast. I love that using a paintbrush allows me to interpret but at the same time convey the changing mood and atmosphere of the natural landscape.”
