Mary says that her pastel portraits are drawn from life and that she uses photographs to guide her work in oils. Her work, including landscapes in oil.
The Story of the Meadow Lakes Art Gallery
The first major show in the new Meadow Lakes Art Gallery was the 43rd New Jersey Senior Citizens Annual Art Contest and Exhibition. The event was open to the public during October 2009 with a closing reception and award ceremony, workshops, and gallery talks on the last day of the month.
Entry into the show was limited to the winners selected by the judges at each New Jersey county's art show. Meadow Lakes residents look forward to holding this successful show again next year.
The PHS Senior Living Foundation contributed a Walker Display System to create the Meadow Lakes Art Gallery. Located between the Lakeside Cafe and the Bridge, the gallery is to be a permanent showplace for art from a variety of sources including work of our own residents.
