'The Addition' Is a textured 20"w x 16"h abstract acrylic collage painted on a .75" deep wrapped canvas. I often work intuitively and begin with lots of random strokes and gestural mark-making. This painting began this way as well - but these marks are now completely hidden below several layers of impasto acrylic as well as a selection of collage pieces. These collage additions have also been painted over leaving their shape clearly visible as an integral part of the composition. Throughout my work I have added and scrubbed away layers revealing so much of the history - what lies beneath is visible everywhere. 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, signed on the back, is ready to hang with wire attached.

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.
