MARY MCCRAE
Mary McCrae is a local artist whom has been working with acrylics, as well as
other art mediums, on a project of self-understanding and self-observation. Mary, a natural born artist, has always painted others and never herself until she was challenged with producing a piece of art for the body and environment. Trying to escape from conceptualisation, Mary consciously decided to bring her art back to grass roots and concentrate on herself, her emotions and inner feelings. From that inner analysis; the painting ‘Third Person’, a self-portrait, was born. The painting uses intense colour and brush strokes to convey the journey of self- discovery experienced by the artists as she re-discovered her true self. The feelings of intense inner turmoil experienced by the artist during her journey of self-discovery are, literally, reflected in the piece. |
