Mary Pratt

Flower Song, Oil Painting

2024

Artist Comments
Bright yellow trumpet flowers hang gracefully from green stems, while a leaf-patterned background creates a sense of rhythmic movement. As the summer days wane, artist Mary Pratt’s floral collection in her backyard begins to fade. Committed to preserving their beauty, she captures them in her Meditation series.

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 garage studio, bundled up in layers during the winter and wearing tank tops and shorts in the summer, all while music fills the space. Beyond art, Mary spends her time hanging out with friends, playing with her grandchildren, and volunteering.
