About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Mary Pratt presents a vibrant coastal scene featuring a group of women gathered in the water. Their vintage bathing attire, rendered in rhythmic stripes and sun-warmed tones, reflects the elegance of early seaside culture. Gold leaf illuminates the figures and stretches into the background, where silhouettes of people dot the sand. A quiet, powerful beauty emerges in the interaction of the women, each becoming more luminous in relation to the others. Through this painting, Mary celebrates the tenderness, resilience, and effortless grace that arise when women come together in their own rhythm.
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 sunlit home studio, with music filling the space. Beyond art, Mary spends her time hanging out with friends, playing with her grandchildren, and volunteering.
