Mary Collette, Resident of De Pere, WI …...A Visitor to the shores of Lake Michigan and Door County as frequently as life allows......
Mary's Canvas LLC, a name that came to be after much consideration of how to recognize each of the Artistic Avenues that make up my personal and professional life of Commercial Photo Styling, Photography and The Paint Brush.........
The Artist and Painter, a calli
ng I was born with.....Art has forever been a major focus .....
The “Paintbrush” a way to express myself, a way to reach out to other people. The Canvas of choice, a smooth round stone, the medium, Acrylic.
“You've been Bugged”.......... Stones, transformed to colorful expressive “Bugs”
Bugs that take on personalities that you can identify with, or with someone you know. The bugs are tagged and named, bringing them to life in a way that touches the owner......
“Encouragement Bug, Best Friend Bug, Love bug, Gallery Bug, Grandma's Bug,
Take Me Home Bug etc....”
My objective overall is that they make a connection, and bring a smile. I am overwhelmed with Gratitude at the opportunity to Show My work at the Door County Art League Gallery in Fish Creek, at Adecorator's Gallety in Egg Harbor, and at Buchard's Floral and Gifts in Green Bay. My family is an extension my effort.... helping, encouraging, listening and undoubtedly giving me the freedom and support to pursue the Arts....My “Bliss.”
The “Canvas” for me is something that will forever be a work in progress. I am blessed with a God given talent, and am blessed with three wonderful ways to actively express it and pass it along to you. It is my wish that you will “Catch Yourself Smiling” when viewing the work within “My Canvas.”
Mary
