Artist Statement for Mary Harnett
|
|
|
The oil paintings shown in this portfolio are part of what I loosely refer to as the Earth and Sky series. I am interested in painting birds, feathers, bones, and landscapes that represent both the past and future, with the artist and viewer standing on the thin line in between. In 2007 I was privileged to be Artist in Residence at Mesa Verde National Park in southwestern Colorado. There I had the great opportunity to experience the landscape of an ancient people and learn about the legends and symbols that guided their lives. I continue to pursue this study in my current paintings and through this study am slowly finding a way to comment upon the current and future state of our modern world.
I am a fulltime artist and maintain a studio outside my home in Fort Collins, Colorado. After having worked primarily in watercolor for most of my life I have recently taken up oil painting and have found that it gives me the opportunity to work with purpose and intention as well as being a lot of fun.
