SOME OF THE MIXED MEDIA PAINTINGS ON VIEW by the Artist, Mary Ahern
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLight Blue Iris in the Garden\u201d<\/strong>
\n\"LightI grew these delightful light blue Iris germanica in my garden one year but they sadly haven\u2019t come back with such beauty since. Iris borers and not enough sun perhaps. I solve this ephemeral behavior by painting the flowers from my garden. No pesticides, no fungicides, no weeding, no deadheading. They are in perfect condition all year round.

\u201cLilies in the Garden\u201d<\/strong>
\n\"LiliesAs a gardener and an Artist I’ve been able to combine both of these passions.Though my garden has been featured on various Garden Tours, I guarantee that it doesn’t look as good as the fantasy garden in this painting.<\/p>\n

\u201cSiberian Iris Trio\u201d<\/strong>
\n\"SiberianA small patch of these Siberian Irises were in the garden when I bought my home in 1989. They are short lived during the season but very long lived over the years.<\/p>\n

“Daylilies and Rudbeckia”<\/strong>
\nI paired this combination of flowers on my canvas for the their jovial and robust colors. Noticing their form, color and bloom time I transplanted them to create a seasonal vignette in my late summer garden as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cConversation Piece Azalea\u201d<\/strong>
\n\"ConversationThese multi-colored flowers all bloom on the same shrub in my garden collection. Another nice thing about this cultivar is that it blooms a bit later than other Azaleas, thereby extended the colorful season.<\/p>\n

\n

MY ART BLOG<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wrote an article on my Art Blog recently describing how subconsciously I was influenced by the famous Matisse painting, \u201cThe Dance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Studying Art History for decades seeps into your creative mind and emerges in ways that you don’t expect. Though I majored in Art in college, it’s the years of continuing pursuit that really make the subtle and not so subtle differences in an Artist’s work.<\/p>\n

You can read my article about the Matisse composition for “The Dance” here.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

QUOTATION<\/strong>
\nA garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust.<\/em><\/p>\n

– Gertrude Jekyll  – Gardener, Designer, Writer 1893-1932<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

MY ARTIST STATEMENT<\/strong>
\nMy Art is driven by the pursuit of multiple passions. In my garden I grow the delicate & ephemeral models which are the subjects of my paintings.  I transform them through a complex series of digital technologies and traditional mediums.<\/p>\n

I have a degree in horticulture, a degree in Fine Arts and my entire career has been spent in Digital Imaging technologies. These are the tools I use to create my Art.<\/p>\n

Creating and reinventing my gardens larger than life size demonstrates the profound importance they play in my own personal centering.<\/p>\n

\n

I hope to see you at my show opening and if not please visit me on my website<\/a>,
