As an interior designer, Mary Burkhardt is surrounded by beautiful colors, shapes, patterns, and textures. These elements of design—along with a passion for travel, gardening, and fashion, naturally inform her art. Mary’s new work is a collection of whimsical themes including female figures in flowing dresses that move and swing, to a collection of captured bouquets featuring flowers and foliage straight from the garden. The use of classic patterns including stripes, dots, and flowers weave and repeat, creating a fluid connection in a cohesive body of work.
