Mary Moore Soniat's Art

Mary has been painting for over 40 years. By her own admission, she is self taught using various art books. She paints in both oils and acrylics and enjoys three distinct styles of painting, i.e., classic, abstract and a third which she calls "essence." The essence style is a style she developed all on her own over the past few years and she calls it that because all you see in the portrait is the essence of the subject as captured by her eye and mind. So I initially grouped her paintings into these three galleries. After the gallery project got started, we added a fourth category for "Dolls," a fifth one for "Iris's Drama," and a final one for her "Self Portraits."

She likes to tell people that her classic and essence style are her "prose," whereas her abstract paintings are her poetry. As you open each gallery, if you will click on the first picture, the gallery will present the pictures in slide show format one picture at a time. I have posted a copy of her professional biography on her Profile Page. Be sure to check it out and don't be surprised if you happen to see a picture of a bunny as well! Who knew !!!
