Mary Ellis – One A Day
Mary Ellis is recognized for her bright, high energy abstract expressionist paintings.
Mary presents her solo exhibit, “One A Day”, at the Donald Gallery, March 24 – May 5, 2019. Mary’s brilliantly colored abstract paintings on paper and canvas came to life when she committed to the “100 day painting challenge”, a painting a day for 100 days. This spontaneous discipline forever changed her approach to her paintings. Through this commitment, she was set free to reconnect to her heart, her source of inspiration.

About Mary Ellis
Every new canvas begins as an adventure. I work intuitively with no conscious intention drawing from a well of fantasy, memory and emotion. I create brilliantly colored abstract paintings with organic shapes defined by spontaneous lines. The work is about rhythm ,energy, light and space. The texture ,fluidity and immediacy of the paint feels like a dance. There is a point when a composition evolves and the work takes on a life of its own, and I am balancing between spontaneity and structure.
My hope is that the viewer will join me in the adventure, set thought aside, and be open to allowing their own sensibilities to take in and enjoy my work on a purely emotional and visceral level.
