Mary Parsons Art: an introduction to Mary's colourful travel art

Mary Parsons Art: an introduction to Mary's colourful travel art

My work has always been colourful and geographical.   Being so keen to get out again after the pandemic, I took my art with me.  It made me see my own area in a new light, rediscovering local places and seeing the beauty in the simple things around me.  I began to sketch anywhere and everywhere.  I also invested in an easel that meant I could paint on location. 
 

To widen my experience I instigated projects with local organisations such as Avebury Manor National Trust and Swindon’s Railway Village.  This bought me into contact with the public whilst painting and I gained the confidence to create with people watching.


More recently, I have painting at Prospect Hospice, and at performances of Aldbourne Band.    


Back in my home studio, I still enjoy collage, making handmade books, and experimental activities more suited to a studio (often potato printing!).  Using the sketches I’ve done on site as well as photos, I have a wealth of inspiration.


These experiences have led me to combine my art with the other half of my life; wellbeing.  Art ticks a lot of boxes for wellbeing, and in meeting the public I am able to promote art as a pastime.  I believe that people encountering me drawing and painting have a positive aspect to their visit that they did not predict.   I’ve had many conversations about seeing the world in a new light, taking time to notice details.   I create for myself but I am also happy to be work at event or venue, to add interest for visitors - contact me to discuss.
