About the Item
Artist Comments
Sweeping, layered clouds fill the sky, creating a dramatic contrast between light and shadow. Gentle waves with soft white foam at their crest roll towards the shore as the backlight brings out the teal hue of the translucent water. A flock of birds flies above the low horizon, enhancing the peaceful mood and sense of open space.
About the Artist
Artist Mandy Main captures nature's beauty through her panoramic vistas. "My works are a spiritual outpouring, a reflection of my inner being," says Mandy. After earning her bachelor's degree in art in the late 1970s and her master's in the 1980s, she initially struggled to connect with the market's focus on edgy and conceptual styles. It wasn’t until the 1990s, when landscape compositions became popular again, that she began selling her work. By 2003, she had transitioned to a full-time artistic career and became an art historian. Mandy paints in a small, converted studio in her rental property, adorned with an oriental carpet. In her spare time, she loves traveling, exploring museums and gardens, and cooking—particularly Thai cuisine, a skill honed from living in Thailand for 18 months and visiting nearly 30 times.

Mandy Main
Mandy Main is an art historian and landscape painter based in the Southern California desert. She has long been passionate about 19th-century American landscape paintings, which has been influential in her artistic practice. Main works in series, generally three paintings at a time. Her process begins with a vision of a place she has been, but she takes creative liberties with the aesthetic details. Main is captivated by light and shadow and strives to instill her work with moody drama through the representation of these elements. Using layers of paint and glazes, Main achieves mesmerizing atmospheric depth, encouraging the viewer to gaze and be still.
