“When you paint the personal, you hope to touch on the universal. I am a prism through which the rays of light shine; I bend and modify those rays, but I am not their source.”
--Mary Tudor
Mary’s abstract style requires greater participation on the part of the viewer. Abstract works are open-ended in regard to their interpretation. The viewer is not bound by predefined images and their associations. The mission pf her work is to evoke a feeling, not to depict a specific image.
“Art work must move us emotionally. If it doesn’t, it is functioning as a decoration, nostalgia, political statement, etc. Art is about creating fresh vision; creating a truth that we have never seen before.”
Mary’s paintings are purposely ambiguous. Light, emotion and empathy are placed in such a way as to elicit a visceral response in the viewer.
