Mary Holton ~ My artistry reflects a quiet rebellion against literal reality while remaining grounded in an appreciation for the beauty contained in our everyday environment.

I strive to capture light in its various phases, to present subjects and detail with a looseness and freedom that do not violate the integrity of those elements.
For most of my work I choose the forcefulness of a knife rather than a brush stroke to apply my palette, to create a tactile, textural painting that the viewer is free to touch, enter and be part of.

I paint to share a vision with the viewer of the uncommon in the common, eliminating the unnecessary elements that distract and have no meaning ... a wabi-sabi approach to art: "if an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene melancholy and a spiritual longing, then that object could be said to be wabi-sabi." Leonard Koren.
