WELCOME

Mary Bell Steffen

Join me as I share stories though imagery, created primarily in oil on canvas or wood panels. Using sketches created in the field, along with my own photography to create a visual experience. One tends to pass through the landscape, or places in our daily lives, failing to recognize it's uniqueness, emotion, or life. Traveling along our chosen path every day, taking what we see for granted. We fail to realize that these images will become important elements in our memories. I search for a sense of place, how I relate to it, and the emotions and memories which it evokes.

Works in Progress

Currently I am creating 20 small paintings which tell the story of a trip to Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. The title is Postcards from Oceania. The paintings are just 7" x 5" and will be displayed as one large image. Just began one of a group capybaras I saw in Australia.

Latest Work

This penguin is one of twenty paintings from Postcards from Oceania. He is the smallest breed of penguin on earth and found in New Zealand.
