Oil Painting / Mixed Media
MARY GRACE EUBANK
MARY GRACE is an internationally recognized, award winning Illustrator with over 100 published Children’s books and games. After 50+ years of playfully employing the magic of whimsical characters from Big Bird to Barney, Mary Grace is advancing fearlessly into a more contrasting, spontaneous boldness in the Fine Arts. Using primarily oils and mixed media, she is creating impressionistic pieces that are every bit as enchanting as the illustrations that garnered her career. Her paintings reflect an expressive, soulful dialogue that is symbolic enough to unleash personal perspectives, but subtle enough to invite individual opinions and emotions. She is still illustrating stories, but in a more visual narrative.
Since retiring from Illustrating, Mary Grace is enjoying the departure from restrictive, commercial categorization and exploring looser, freer, artistic techniques with a style that is both versatile and contemporary. Her distinctive approach ranges from traditional to expressionistic as she creates thought provoking abstracts, scenic landscapes, colorful still lives, and impressionistic portraits. From her studios in Dallas and Cordillera, Colorado, she is inventing pieces that are winning competitions, attracting collectors, and providing unique pieces for interior designers.
With boundless, optimistic enthusiasm, Mary Grace says, “It is impossible to retire that rewarding sense of artistic discovery that I am blessed to celebrate with JOY every day. My painting process is a synergy of memories and imagination realized through color amalgamation, texture, compositional freedom, design, and emotional characterization. I want my work to channel whatever weighs on the collective subconscious using symbolism and iconography. I like to explore themes of resilience, survival, hope, and the value of carrying on during the challenges we all face in our personal psychospiritual experiences. The theology and magic of art helps me transform the weird hypocrisies of today’s confusing world dynamics into something absurdly positive and beautiful. As I continue this visionary voyage with energetic enthusiasm, I am eternally grateful for the JOY art has always brought to my life.”
