There is more than one way to bridge the gap and this painting takes a journey down river through the decades. Initially it was a raft, a boat, something that would float livestock, people, belongings, anything across the water - it could take many trips and sometimes things (or dog's) got left behind. As time passed, construction culminated in the iconic convict built bridges. They were decorative, with hand hewn stone, a statement piece that dwarfed anything gone before. To this day, those that have survived are much preserved and treasured as a reminder of the skills of the past. In this painting the arches of the convict bridge create a frame in which to look into the future and see today's modern solution, rather ordinary and uninspiring compared to it's predecessor. In the second arch is a storm water outlet covered in graffiti, contemporary infrastructure that is necessary, but wouldn't it be nice if it was beautifully crafted like the bridge? The sides are painted, quality products used throughout, it's varnished and ready to hang.

Mary is a self-taught artist who has been quietly honing her skills for most of her life. She began painting with water colour before discovering her passion for pastels. In the mid nineties she married and had two children, and in between being a mum started painting with acrylics. A large part of Mary's creative expression involves telling a story and much of her large scale works reflects this- "My process often starts with asking myself where would I like to be today? and what story do I want to tell? It's usually a wide open space so I can have a look around to see what I want to say. The idea unfolds as I go, the placing of objects determines the next, guided by an overall mood, story and colour scheme that I have decided upon. The imagery that I use is drawn from personal experience, from childhood memories right through to current observations and everyday life.In the landscape format, I can surround m self with things I find interesting and leave out all the clutter that would probably be there in real life." Mary starts with the darkest tones and moves forward to the lightest, highlighting little details along the way and so the finished piece is something that is familiar but at the same time a little strange and unusual. Each work takes many weeks to complete as Mary constructs each landscape from scratch - the perspective, the scale, light, imagery and the colour palette. All her paintings are unique and individual and while her subject matter varies from painting to painting, they all include her distinctive style.
