About The Artwork
'Heart of the City' is a heavily textured oil and acrylic painting on a 140lb sheet of Arches cold press watercolour paper. It measures 19.5" x 15.5" on a 20" x 16" sheet of Arches. I often work intuitively and begin with random mark-making. This painting began this way as well. Several painting sessions followed working with acrylics and some graffiti scribbles. Some collage pieces have also been embedded in the painting creating some interesting texture. A final layer of vibrant yellow oil and cold wax was then added to strengthen the composition and add a touch of magic. I want the viewer to feel the energy and spontaneity I felt while painting this - and to enjoy the many small details as well as the whole. This painting is signed on the back and will be securely packaged and shipped in a box to ensure safe delivery.

Hi, I'm Mary Ness. I am happy you are here to see what I've been up to. I'm an abstract expressionist artist and designer living and working just outside Toronto, Canada. My creative journey, with all of it's twists and turns, goes back to my early childhood. There I was, little me, lying belly down on the kitchen floor with my coloring book and crayons. I was caught in a sunbeam coming through the window - and that's when the magic began. I paint with both traditional media such as acrylics and/or oils and cold wax, mixed media collage as well as painting with digital tools such as Photoshop and Corel Painter. Often I combine digital and analog to achieve my goal. Sometimes a painting is finished quickly and other times there are many layers and visits to the mirror with the painting, always searching for that elusive moment when I can say, that's it, I've got it! I want the viewer to be drawn in, to see the layers, the brushstrokes - to feel the energy and emotion I experienced while making this piece of art.
