Mary Pratt
Tale of Two Moons, Oil Painting

2023

About the Item

Artist Comments
Three graceful geishas walk toward the distant temple. Their elegant presence matches their beautifully adorned parasols and kimonos. Two crescent moons and the luminous landscape infuse an air of mystery into the painting.


About the Artist
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, Mary’s paintings summon a joyful, even childlike, emotional response. Her style is nuanced by a range of inspirations, including scenery from the state of Georgia. The personal edge that Mary brings to each painting alters and enhances recognizable subject matter, cultivating an imaginative visual experience.
