Work in progress for my show at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum
For directions please visit the Bayard Cutting Arboretum website
Mary Ahern brings her award-winning style of floral and garden inspired art to the Bayard Cutting Arboretum from May 17 through June 17, 2018. Three galleries of her floral portraits will be on display at the historic Manor House at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Great River NY. The galleries are open on Thursdays through Sundays from 11 am until 4 pm.
Mary Ahern, known for her brilliant floral and garden paintings will be showing her latest large-scale flower portraits. As a passionate gardener who is inspired by the gardens she designed and tends surrounding her own studio, these flowers represent to her a microcosm of the universe. The large scale of these individual portraits asks questions beyond the canvas.
What is the purpose for such magnificence in nature? What is the reason for such color, such form, such diversity? What is their relationship to the communities in which they belong, their relationships with other plants and species that sustain them, invade them and nourish them. What of their lifecycle of birth, growth, senescence and rebirth? As humans, what can we learn from their seemingly simple existence?
Initially we see with our eyes. We name it, identify it and classify it. But we also have a duality of vision which allows us to contemplate with an inner vision. This art invites both the external and internal views.

In conjunction with her month long art exhibition, Mary Ahern will discuss how flowers represent a microcosm of the universe in their cycles of living and loving, families and relationships as well as their quest for survival and eventual senescence and rebirth.
Mary’s immersive and personal experience with the flowers in her garden and studio caused her to reflect on the importance – both visually and emotionally – of what these living subjects mean to her. In her talk, she will share that meaning in hopes that audience members will contemplate, along with her a greater appreciation of the natural wonder of the world surrounding them. With a duality of external and internal vision, Ahern invites viewers to see the beauty and intricacy of flowers in her oversized paintings.
In their boldness, she suggests a contemplation of their relevance and ours in the social order of our universe. Mary has degrees in painting and ornamental horticulture with a specialty in landscape design. She received a certificate in botanical illustration from the New York Botanical Gardens.
Newletter Announcement:
Mary Ahern, a former board member of the NY ARS will present “From the Garden to the Wall”, a program which describes the process of creating Art, whether in a painting on canvas or as a garden and planting design.
As an Artist with a degree in Fine Art with a focus on Painting, one in Ornamental Horticulture with a specialty in Landscape Design and a Certificate in Botanical Illustration from the New York Botanical Gardens, Mary brings decades of experience to her field.
Mary’s paintings reflect her passion for gardens. The colors, the textures, the lighting and the pathways tell stories of personal creative visions. She is inspired by her own extensive woodland garden in Northport as well as the many public and private gardens around Long Island.
