Mary Boone Wellington

Artist's Statement

From 1971 to the present I have worked on numerous commissioned

installations of paintings and sculpture for private collectors, retail

environments, hotels, corporations, and public buildings. My work has also

been exhibited in many solo and group shows at galleries nationwide.

For my work on canvas, I love to use vibrant oil colors, drawing images

from the natural world which evoke a spirit of timelessness and mystery.

Glazes reveal the depth of an inner space, while a fusion of gold leaf and

pigment floats above the surface of the work.

My approach to public art is to create a work that is woven into the

architecture utilizing color, light, and form to amplify the visual themes of

the natural and built environment. Such a work of art acts as a touchstone

and expresses the vibrant purpose of that space.

Over the last decade, these images have been drawn more and more from

nature and from the sacred geometries present in the greatest ancient human

structures, and have thus tended toward the simple, elegant, and sensuous.
