My Gallery
As you explore, you'll find a blend of Impressionist and Impasto styles, each painting inviting you to experience the fleeting magic of creation.
My name is Mary Masterson, and I am a nerdy creative. I express my creative side through acrylic paint on canvas. My nerdy side shows up during my (other) day job, as I work in the medical field and have worked in engineering. Yep, I’m a left-brained, right-brained kind of girl. I’ve painted canvas for about 6 years now, starting the process to help me work through a personal issue, and then my muse showed up. I’m pretty sure she has red hair and lives on the East Coast because she likes to wake me up 3 hours earlier than I would be willing to get up on my own, here in California, and demand to be painted.
I would originally post paintings that I was happy with on Facebook and/or Instagram and friends and followers would encourage me, and then began to offer to buy them. ‘What?! Well… okay!’
I reached out to a local gallery and submitted samples of my artwork and was chosen as Artist of the Month, displaying several works. Since then, I have displayed and sold many of my paintings and commissioned works. I love it, and for me, there’s no turning back.
My favorite thing about my artwork is the connection that it provides. I love to hear what people see in my art or how it makes them feel. Sometimes it’s similar to what I had in mind and sometimes it’s their journey. Either way, it’s something personal shared, bringing this world closer, and a little more connected.
