Nationality: American scotch-irish american
Lifespan: 1948
Since 1975 MAL's works have brought much attention to the art viewing public. Her paintings and works on paper are collected
internationally.
Emerging with the "Ladies" series, she sensuously depicted the "femme fatale" figure on large canvases with oils and on paper, pastels. These works are available today by Giclee reproduction.
To satisfy a desire to paint visual legerdemain, she produces fantasy still lifes with objects d'art. This style surfaced recently in the "Falling Fruit thru Clouds" series of paintings and pastels.
In 1986, she broke her realist’s boundaries with a series of works mixing realism and abstract composition. Works on paper, "Legs and "Luvs" evolved leading to the non-representational series "Exploration".
Fields of sensual color, impasto lines of movement, glimmers of glitter and cut glass jewels come together for an opulent celestial voyage. Her tones of color are uplifting and the use of mineral stones is nu-age in spirit.
he has come full circle to the "Resolution" series of abstract-realism works; combining acrylic with attachments and photo releases to include horses, riders, leaves, the sea, eco-animal awareness and figures on canvas and wood - on paper, using silk screen and collage. Currently, the painting series, “3 Beaches” are being produced with the use of multiple wood panels filled with colors of the sea, sand and sky and assorted attachments of shells, rocks, fish and people things one sees at the beach.
The use of multiples, allows for assemblaging to larger works.
