January’s Demo Artist is Mary Claire Moloney – Gouache & Sharpie

    My art is a reflection of my travels. I want you to feel, if only for a moment, that you are with me in my adventures. Gouache is my current medium of choice, and I am equally comfortable working in oils and pastels. My main influences are Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh and particularly James Whistler’s paintings of Venice, Italy. I am a keen reader of their biographies and enjoy exploring the places where they lived and were inspired by. Brenham, Texas; Venice, Italy; and Kefalonia, Greece influence me with fabulous preserved architecture, gorgeous surrounding scenery and lovely residents.
