About the Item
Artist Comments
A young maiko - a geisha in training - strolls in an abstract landscape, her delicate face decorated in traditional makeup. The organic patterning surrounding the figure accentuates her flowing garments, as a pink sunset dips below the low horizon. "I imagined creative energy and moved the paint accordingly," says Mary.

Artist Mary Pratt paints an impressionist image of a geisha dressed in a bold striped kimono. The subject leaves her arm outstretched as a tiny bluebird perches on her left hand. An enthralling atmosphere of red surrounded by turquoise engulfs the fanciful background. "Painting the geisha is inspiring to me. The mystery is her allure," says Mary.About the Artist
