2022

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Mary Dorfner Hay presents abstractions of bold colors in motion for her spiritual series, Crown. She illustrates the crown chakra energy using celestial bodies as inspiration for bold compositions filled with light and color. A deep blue mass merges with orange hues over a vibrant burst of pink and purple. This piece introduces a strange, unknown physical world.


About the Artist
Ethereal abstractions of tantalizing celestial bodies gracefully circulate artist Mary Dorfner Hay's work. “I believe an essential part of our human condition is the ability to relate to each other and the world around us,” shares Mary. She draws from the natural world as a visual source and inspiration for her imagery to produce work that illustrates the collective human experience. A lifelong creative, she finished a bachelor’s degree in fine arts and became a successful independent graphic designer for many years. Realizing that creating art was her true passion, she shifted her focus to building a fine art career. Mary manifests her visions on the canvas at her little studio in the attic of her Pittsburgh home. She expresses her deep interest in the subtleties, nuances, and beauty of life, to create a strong relationship with the viewer. An active mother of two, she manages a busy household with lots of sports and activities, all while continuing graphic design projects. Her work has been locally renowned and presented at Museumlab, The Children’s Museum, and Zynka Gallery.

  • Regatta, Abstract Oil Painting
    By Sharon Sieben
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    Artist Sharon Sieben paints an abstract display of expressive cobalt blue strokes. A majestic and imaginative representation of sailing through the ocean. "I observed this when I could feel the rush of wind in sails and hear the sea splash against the hull," says Sharon. Accents of green create a stimulating complement to the flurry of dramatic brushwork.


    About the Artist

Her parents bought her a set of oil paints when she was ten years old and it sparked her love of art.
