Hello, I'm Mary Northridge.

Art feeds my soul. Creating art is happiness. I believe that art is everywhere...in nature​,​ in our homes and in our hearts. Each time I start a new piece​,​ I remind myself to “set myself free” or to “get out of my own way” and to let my natural creativity transfer onto the painting. My canvases begin with a collage of textures​,​ layers and layers of colors​,​ and a vision. At times​,​ the vision evolves as planned. Other times it evolves into something unplanned and I find myself expectedly​,​ yet unexpectedly​,​ surprised. Painting is a journey​,​ and while I am on this wonderful journey​,​ I love the fact that I don’t know where it will lead me. That is the lure for me.To go somewhere freely with no expectation or hesitancy. To just simply be.
