Mary K. Forshagen M K Creations Medium: Oil Painting Mary K. Forshagen is a signature member of the Oil Painters of America. She grew up in Texas and attended Texas A & M University. A major turning point in her career came in 1993 at a plein-air painting workshop in Taos, New Mexico with Kevin Macpherson. “I had always painted primarily from life - now I paint primarily ‘en plein air’. I am stimulated by the challenges of outdoor painting - a quickly changing light source, the scent of wildflowers in the air and even those pesky little bugs that inevitably fly into my wet painting. All of these factors contribute to the emotional feel in a painting. There is a unique relationship between the artist and nature that I love." Mary K. enjoys painting landscapes, still lifes and figures. She travels extensively in search of new ideas and inspirations. She divides her time between her summer studio in Almont, Colorado, and her winter studio in Houston, Texas. “I hope to share my unique view of the world and its’ beauty with all who see my work.” www.forshagen.com mkforshagen@comcast.net Winter Studio: 2 Duchess Court Houston, TX 77024-5057 713-973-7353 Summer Studio: 12500 Country Road #742 Almont, Colorado 81210 970-642-0404 |
