Two women in bikinis enjoy the seaside swings. Their carefree energy captures the essence of joie de vivre. The wispy brush strokes with strong contrast create a dreamy atmosphere, while the sunlit scene evokes the warmth and brightness of a perfect summer day.
About the Artist
Artist Mary Pratt celebrates the beauty and whimsy of everyday life, blending impressionistic techniques with modern flair to capture the world with jovial poise. "I determine colors and aesthetics intuitively," says Mary. Through her gestural brushstrokes—soft ethereal palettes complemented by the occasional bright pop of color—and nuanced style, Mary's paintings offer a fresh perspective on familiar subjects, inviting viewers to experience them in new and imaginative ways. Pivotal moments, including overcoming breast cancer, have shaped her artistic journey. She paints in her garage studio, bundled up in layers during the winter and wearing tank tops and shorts in the summer, all while music fills the space. Beyond art, Mary spends her time hanging out with friends, playing with her grandchildren, and volunteering.

Mary Pratt
Mary Pratt, a Georgia-based artist, is known for her Impressionistic yet modern oil paintings that capture the world with a jovial poise. Her soft, ethereal palette is complemented by the occasional bright pop of color.
The artist’s aesthetic choices are intuitive rather than premeditated. Through her gestural brushstrokes, Pratt’s paintings summon a joyful, even childlike, emotional response.
