“Some artists look for composition or light, but what inspires me is a kind of love of nature, more so than any artistic element. I just had to find a way to express how I felt about wildlife and the environment. I’m blessed in that I can express that through painting.”

Mary Roberson

MARY ROBERSON

“Art: A Window to the Truth” opens September 28 at Altamira Fine Art Jackson and features wildlife and figurative subject matter in oil and mixed media.

Mary will demonstrate her painting techniques in the gallery on October 1st from 2-4pm, with a reception to follow from 5:30-7:30pm.

Utilizing impressionistic and surrealist techniques, Roberson’s paintings invite the viewer to enter into her view of the world, where animals possess totemic meaning, and where texture and movement come alive.

Her thick brushstrokes evoke the dense underbrush where many of her western wildlife subjects make their homes.

Mary Roberson was born in 1948 in Fort Smith, Arkansas. She studied at the Chouinard Art Institute and the Otis Art Institute, both in Los Angeles. She currently lives in Hailey, Idaho, where she takes advantage of nearby Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks for inspiration.

Roberson has captured the attention of private collectors and museums alike. She was the featured painter at the 2010 Western Visions Show & Sale at the National Museum of Wildlife Art. Her painting, “The Mystic Forest,” is part of the museum’s permanent collection.
