COMMUNITY GALLERY

May Artist of the Month
Mary Crump

Artist Statement:

My paintings are inspired by visual images that capture my attention for interpretation.  I am motivated by the serenity of an environment or an eye catching structure. I am exploring compositions and color combinations to evoke a sense of feeling about a space.

My preferred medium is oil on board or canvas. I make an effort to paint “en plein air”. With natural light and atmosphere have an effect on colors being used.

Painting to me is learning to eliminate non-essentials and to develop elements for a more effective and expressive painting. My passion for painting, which has resurfaced, is an important part of my life journey.
