 Mary R. Holobaugh



Artist Statement :

I am a member of Westerville Art League, Worthington Area Art League, Ohio Plein Air Society and The Escape Artists.

Painting from life is a spontaneous avenue to follow. Out in the elements, capturing fleeting moments Mother Nature has granted us, documenting on canvas with colors and shadows, the day proceeds. Catching that scene, that light, that color that attracted you in the beginning, you hold steadfast until the end, your interpretation of the moment.

Mary was first introduced to plein air painting at age 10 by her great aunt while visiting her 1000 acre farm in Iowa. Her Aunt took Mary out to one of the many farm ponds, after sketching a blackbird and cattails, she assisted her with painting the scene to canvas. This followed by years of correspondence by mail, with lots of encouragement to paint, paint, paint. Years of painting did continue, although not plein air. With a residency at The Artist Colony in Vermont, artists were encouraged to paint plein air.

The door was open again and Mary stepped right through, paints in hand.
