Mary Lookabaugh Hewett

I am a mixed-media abstract artist. I am passionate about color, and I am inspired by flowers, pictures of nature and other artists. Most often I work on canvas; however, I paint on paper and cradle board as well. I use acrylic paints, paint pens, alcohol ink and other marking tools in my work.

I begin my paintings with color selections and allow the process to determine the direction. I love to do layered painting, fluid art, 3D ink art and textured design.

I live in Plano, Texas. I take art classes that interest and inspire me. I minored in art when I was in college, but my early focus was always on education. I have a master’s degree in education and over 40 years of teaching and administrative leadership in public education. I have taught art to elementary students and ceramics to adults. Now that I am retired, I do art full-time. Painting makes me so happy, and I love sharing that!!!
