MARY WEST
Mary studied at The Slade School of Fine Art and lives and works in West London close to the river. Her paintings explore light, space and texture through landscape. Blurring the lines between abstract and figurative painting, memories of landscape inspire every composition. Each painting is an emotional response to a place and shared encounters.
Mary works in oils, allowing the paint to take on a life of its own through chance accidents and gestural mark making. She paints quickly and intuitively, creating a sense of movement while building layers.
Mary has had several solo shows both in the UK and internationally. Her work sits in collections around the world including Europe, Asia, USA and Australia.
"These works are about remembered landscapes, layered histories and the passing of time. Most importantly they are about the joy of painting."
