Inspired by nature, Mary Lee works in water watercolors, acrylic, pastel, etching, and photography. She gravitates towards whimsical depictions of animals and landscapes. "Red Pony" is an excellent representation of her work, it combines images from nature with an abstract environment, using vivid colors to infuse the painting with a unique energy. Mary Lee works in sophisticated and traditional formats such as watercolors and pastels as well as new, innovative formats like her acrylic on canvas floor cloths, aesthetically pleasing and functional.
