West, Mary
Mary West received her B.F.A. from the Slade School of Fine Art in London, England. 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. She 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.
