Mary Pratt Animal Paintings
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, Pratt’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.

"Melbourne is a waterfront city in Florida and a bastion of culture, boasting a fine arts museum, art galleries and a contemporary music scene," says artist Mary Pratt. During an artist residency, Mary visited the arts district and found an abundance of artistic expression. "I focused on aiming my camera at situational aspects within the neighborhood. Using these photos, I created a scene of a young woman and her dog taking a break in the back courtyard of a local establishment."
