Who Is Mary Garrish?
Meet Mary Garrish, the President of Plein Air Painters of the South East, who brings the beauty of nature to life through her stunning impressionist oil renditions of plein air landscapes.
Mary has an insatiable passion for painting. She often travels the world annually to capture the most breathtaking scenes in her signature style.
Her artistic talent extends beyond her beautiful paintings. She’s also a dedicated instructor who conducts workshops and demonstrations, both en plein air and in her studio.
In 2020, she expanded her reach by creating educational videos, including a video release, "6 Elements of Design.” (Now available through Streamline Publishing)
Born in Miami Beach, Florida in 1955, Mary's art is the result of decades of intense study, participation in workshops with the great landscape artists of our time, and experimentation with new techniques and subjects.
Her artwork hangs in galleries and private collections throughout the United States, and she has been selected to participate in numerous national juried shows. She has also had several one-woman shows at galleries and museums.
But what sets Mary's work apart is the unique magic she brings to each piece. Her paintings have a way of transporting you to the scene, making you feel as if you are right there, surrounded by the beauty of nature.
As Karen Hewitt Hagan notes, "It's hard to describe how refreshed and relaxed her paintings make you feel, but when you meet her you understand that feeling is a direct translation of Mary's joy and zest for living."
If you want to learn how Mary captures the wonder of nature through the magic of art, this is your chance. You won't be disappointed.
