Expressive Paintings that “Re-Vision” the Natural World
Mary Manning creates expressive paintings in an inimitable style that captures a range of awe-inspiring and emotive aspects of the natural environment. Her primary inspiration comes from the Western area of the United States. Her proficiency in combining different mediums such as oil and acrylic paint, metal leaf, and epoxy resins bring an expansive breadth and depth to her captivating works of art. Mary also imbues her contemporary art with Japanese art principles to create a “Re-Vision” of Western landscapes and other subjects that inspire her from the natural world.
Mary lives in St. George, Utah and her artwork can be found in many private, public and academic collections throughout the U.S.

Mary often begins a painting en plein air and completes it in her studio where her art is enlivened with a spirit of spontaneity. She states, “Sometimes a spectacular sunrise or sunset captures my imagination. Storms sweeping the desert change sunny, clear blue skies into a vivid palette of colors.”
Her purpose is heart-filled and says, “Everyone enjoys beauty, and as an artist my work offers a deeper, ethereal quality for you to delight in viewing. Before these images arrive on canvas or paper, they go through my heart and out the brush.”

Mary is the recipient of the First Place award in the 2022 Dixie Watercolor Society Spring Show. Her art was selected for the Manhattan Arts International “HerStory” 2022 juried exhibition. She was curated into “The Healing Power of Color” 2022 exhibition presented by The Healing Power of ART & ARTISTS and is featured in an article “Artists Share The Influence of Nature In Their Art” on that website.
