Halloween '19 by Mary Gaylord

Halloween ’19(2019) by Mary Gaylord,  is an oil on canvas board which measures 21 3/4 by 27 7/8 inches. It is signed lower left and annotated on verso.

Of her artwork she states: 

“As the events that touched my life changed, so did the focus of my work: family and friends; war, peace, politics; theater; women’s rights, social justice; travels to Maine, Mexico and abroad.

“The formal elements of painting and drawing, line, pattern, color, space, have always been of primary concern to me. I would call myself a ‘drawer’ who paints. I try to achieve my objective through conscious and subconscious process. It is difficult for me to find the words to clarify the ‘why’ for much of this work. Some images are obvious; others have strayed from the initial intention and become an enigma, even to me.”
