Learn about the artwork and inspirations of the artist, Mary Ahern.
As a passionate gardener, Mary Ahern’s art is as intricately entwined as the gardens surrounding her studio. Cultivating and tending these gardens is the first stage of creating the art that grows in her studio. Flowers represent to a microcosm of the universe in their cycles of living and loving, families and relationships as well as their quest for survival, eventual senescence and rebirth. With a duality of external and internal vision, she invites the viewer to see, larger than life, the beauty and intricacy of flowers and in their boldness, she suggests contemplation of their relevance and ours in the social order of our universe.
