ARTIST STATEMENT

“Art enhances my life in an uplifting way. Painting is like breathing for me—it is something I must do. It is very important to me for people to have a physical response to my work, to reach out and touch it. I use a lot of bright color in my work because I believe you can stir every kind of emotion when you look into color. The whole world is my studio and I hope to live long enough to complete all the paintings in my imagination.” --Mary Farmer
