Mary Klein

Artist Statement

Mary Klein's subtle impressionistic paintings capture the elegance and beauty of our immediate surroundings. Working out of doors throughout the Metro area, she captures and presents modestly scaled, contemplative works using raw brushwork and great sensitivity.
ROGUE buddha GALLERY, December 2004

The reason I paint is to see more intensely and more fully the beauty, harmony and irony in natureand then share that vision with others. I'm constantly striving for the perfect balance between design, value and form while allowing for the imperfect and colorful consequences of layering thick-pure-oil paint directly on the canvas.
