Mary Garrish is a retired
surgeon turned landscape
painter. She focuses on
representational studio
and plein air work, with her
plein air studies often being
integral to her studio pieces.
Recently she started a body
of work she refers to as “plein
air still lifes.” On the Vine
and Abstracted Flowers are
two of these, with a beautiful
flower bougainvillea as the
inspiration for the latter
painting.
According to Garrish, Edgar
Degas’ quote, “Art is not what
you see, but what you make
others see,” summarizes
what motivates her to be a
landscape painter. “It is the
‘wow’ experience, such that
when I see the right scene—
I rush to my easel to translate
the beauty to others in a
unique way,” she adds.
In April 2020 she will
have a solo exhibition
at J.M. Stringer Gallery
in Vero Beach, Florida,
featuring some of her newest
paintings. Garrish is also a
teacher of fine art, with 2020
painting trips planned to
Patagonia in the spring and
Greece in the fall.1
