Mary Kersell

Mary paints contemporary oil landscapes that balance observation and abstraction. Through simplified shapes, layered color, and varied paint handling, she aims to evoke the essence of nature rather than describe it. She is fascinated by how few marks can still suggest light, weather, and atmosphere. Inspired by the vast expanse of open skies, seas, and salt marshes, her work emphasizes balance, harmony, and calm. Her paintings invite slow looking, reflection, and a personal sense of place, offering a quiet space for contemplation and emotional connection with the landscape.
