Artist Statement:
Mary Powers Holt is a painter whose work is involved with landscape and inspired by abstract patterns against atmospheric color and light. Her paintings are about the solitary discovery of a place and how with repeated observation the same view is modified by time of day and season. Abstract forms and images are generated through perception and imagination.
