Artist Comments
"As a child, I remember seeing the geisha for the first time and found their beauty extraordinary," says artist Mary Pratt. She pictures geishas wearing ornate kimonos in an alluring impressionist style. The pearly white fabric with traditional Asian designs creates a natural contrast. The ladies hold up slender bamboo parasols as they walk along the field.
