Mary Ahern’s art is deeply rooted in symbolism, dynamically reflecting the interconnectedness and delicate balance within both the microcosm of her garden and the macrocosm of the cosmos These artworks spark a vital conversation about these essential issues. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant community of life in her garden, her flowers invite universal questions of existence and purpose in their quest for survival, eventual senescence, and rebirth.

The identifiable floral Images she creates are glazed and intertwined with her abstract underpaintings inspired by the recent awe-inspiring visuals of the universe. By recognizing the delicate balance required for both terrestrial and celestial ecosystems to thrive, she aims to provide a visual context for understanding the essential balance necessary to sustain life’s intricate harmony across all scales – from the tiniest flower to the grandest galaxy.

Employing imagery that balances both abstraction and realism, she is mirroring the delicate equilibrium needed for universal survival. Her extensive use of transparent glazing between the garden and the galaxy exemplifies the need for open discourse, which she believes is necessary to ensure the health and survival of all species.

Ahern’s artistic process involves employing unique techniques that she has continued to refine over the course of 50 years. Through the years of experimentation and refinement, she developed a distinctive approach to painting that reflects her artistic vision and also her philosophy. Through this layered, evocative imagery, she invites viewers to pause, contemplate, and cultivate a deeper appreciation for the fragile yet resilient web of life that sustains our world and cosmos.

The Atelier at Flowerfield shares Ahern’s commitment to promoting appreciation of the arts. As part of its mission, The Atelier strives to preserve beauty through the learning, understanding, creation, and enjoyment of art in all its forms.
