Abstract art has the potential to be powerful enough to accomplish this. I have always loved color, and my art gives me the means to explore texture, shapes, and color.

Painting is an integral part of my life and makes each day an exciting adventure.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Galleries<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\"><li>Artists Incorporated Market at the Shops of Grand River; Leeds, Alabama<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Mary-Jean is a founder and former co-owner (now retired) of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artistsincorporated.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Artists Incorporated Gallery<\/a>&nbsp;in Vestavia Hills, Alabama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist\u2019s Statement I feel that my role as an artist is to create paintings that evoke strong feelings and emotions.
