About Mary Robertson
Mary Robertson is an abstract painter working in oil, acrylic, and watercolor. She paints in an abstract aerial landscape style, and tends to favor a bright palette with lots of contrast. Mary States, "My painting process is explorative. I rarely plan a painting. Rather, I begin by making gestural marks. Those skeletal marks influence the direction of the painting, giving the process a beginning. Form is brought to life with the use of color, and I will often give 'objects' subtle shadows to convey a sense of depth in my non-objective pieces, hinting at what I like to call 'personification of form.' A square of color appears to float with a small shadow under it, nearly making it an actual thing, and giving it a personality of sorts. The process of painting involves making these forms relate to each other, becoming a whole painting in the end."
