Mary West

About Mary West

Mary’s paintings explore light, space and texture through landscape. Blurring the lines between abstract and figurative painting, memories of landscape inspire every composition. Each painting is an emotional response to a place and shared encounters. Mary works in oils, allowing the paint to take on a life of its own through chance accidents and gestural mark making. She paints quickly and intuitively, creating a sense of movement while building layers. Mary’s paintings sit in collections around the world including Europe, USA, Australia and Asia.
