Mary Ahern, the renowned Northport artist, has been invited to display her award-winning Flower Portraits at the historic Locust Manor Historic Site in Poughkeepsie, NY, for a two-and-a-half-month solo exhibition. With degrees in both Fine Art and Horticulture, Mary has discovered that cultivation and creation are inseparable — her garden serving as both muse and teacher, its cycles of growth, senescence, and rebirth informing everything that emerges in her studio. Working in bold scale and vivid detail, she layers pigments to capture not just what flowers look like, but what they feel like, blending abstraction and realism into luminous paintings that pulse with life and color. Her Flower Portraits are celebrations of beauty and resilience, love letters to the natural world that invite viewers to look beyond surface appearances and discover their own connection to the living world around them.
