Mary Wride - Emporium 1 #1608

Hello and thank you for being here.

 

I’m Mary and I live in a small village in the foothills of the Pyrenees –  South-West France. I enjoy making abstract art including mixed media. I have a tiny studio in my home – No16 – and you will see this mark on all of my work.

Mary Wride - Artist

Making art reflects my values of freedom and possibility. Every new piece is an invitation to play, design, add, subtract and combine technical know-how with a big dose of intuition. The whole process is a journey of trial and error, struggle, excitement, decisions and resolutions until the final creation begins to reveal itself.

I work in layers; putting down paint, sometimes paper, and making many different types of marks using pencils, crayons, pastels and any sharp tools. Once a layer is complete, I start another, whilst ensuring that traces of what’s gone before show through. I do this with wipes, sandpaper, wire wool, scrapers – whatever feels right.

Most of my paintings are acrylic on wood (30cmX30cm). Some are collage-mixed media.
My aim is to create art that is engaging from a distance yet invites you to be curious and get up close. As in life, first impressions matter, but there is always more to the story.  My art is my story, and it will evolve and change as I continue to learn and grow. I hope you enjoy browsing.
