About

The visual capital Mari has acquired over the years has led her to paintings of ideas and concepts. An idea is put on paper in broad hues, then, using more specific color, it is defined. The works are in watercolor, ink and gouache. The palette is simple yet complex and vibrant without the usual diaphanous watercolor appearance. The paintings, though abstract in nature, have a theme, a subject. They are in thematic complimentary arrangements that tell a story individually, then collectively, allowing the viewer to interpret them as he/she wishes, while being drawn into them. They are intelligent, witty and emotionally appealing. The artist is 86 years old and continues to paint. So keep looking for upgrades!
