Mary Brooking

Westbrook, Maine

Mary Brooking I celebrate what I see - including but not limited to the Maine landscape - by exploring its colors, textures and forms as they interact with the human senses on a primitive level, creating spaces that test the balance between reality and abstraction. The viewer is invited to enter these spaces mentally and emotionally. Acrylic paint as a medium forces immediacy in speed and execution, which fits my style and temperament. I use many layers of paint, often obliterating elements as the painting progresses, challenging myself always to distill and reduce the image to its exact essence and nothing more.
