As an abstract painter, Mary Farmer's artwork delivers many visual treats. Her latest painting of ovoid shaped images are expressed in her usual gestural style. It's interesting to note that Farmer's painterly manner lends itself well to this series of works on paper. Farmer's precise placement of gerstural marks on an expanse of white paper, which she uses as a vital compositional element, keeps each picture alive and the viewer engaged. Furthermore, her use of subtly collaged elements lends great weight to the artwork. We are with her, whether it be on some adventure or her daily walks; she has shared her found treasures with us. Farmer is very comfortable with color and confidently lays it on as a vital element. Look again and you will see her connection to this subject matter. There is a casual lyricism and the work's balance would be disturbed if anything were added or taken away. | Mary Farmer | Bio | Artwork | Contact | | HOME | Mary Farmer Gallery & Studio www.maryfarmer.com 260 Howard Street, #2 Atlanta, GA 30317 Phone: 404-373-6845 © 2000 Mary Farmer Studio & Gallery
