Spotlight
Mary Hoffman
Location: Studio 6, Downstairs
Mary Hoffman has always loved the creative process through drawing and painting since she was a small child. At the age of 6 her father enrolled her in her first oil painting class. As her artistic skills developed over the years, Mary became best known for her portraiture art. Portrait commissions helped finance her college studies at The Cleveland Institute of Art in Cleveland Ohio where she earned her BFA in 1989. Today, Mary enjoys combining her love of portrait and figure painting with Plein Air landscapes. She travels painting Plein Air Paint-outs all over the United States. Her work is documented on her website, www.MaryHoffmanFineArt.com For me, inspiration cumulates in bold shapes of light and shadow and their effect on color, creating a story the viewer visually completes. "Brushwork is important to me, and I love the lush, loose brushwork that somehow illustrates the fine elements of a subject without painting every detail.”
