MaryAnn Cleary

Art is a way of expressing my inner feelings and spirit. I want my art to be like music for the soul, where the viewer is moved emotionally to a peaceful and meditative moment. I paint subjects that move and connect with me spiritually with a pastel stick or a loaded brush of oil paint as my tools.
When creating my artwork, I transcend to a mysterious and magical weightlessness where any burdens of my conscientiousness are lifted. My spirit becomes one with my subject to a peaceful and serene state. There is tremendous power in visual imagery. I want my art to bring an interconnection to others and provide restoration and healing to their spirit.
