My goal as an artist is to awaken the viewers to the constantly changing world around us.
I have always been fascinated with art in all its various forms—from painting, sculpture, collage, and photography to music and dance. My work arises out of nature and the movement found within it.
The wind, the tides, the animals, and the human elements are never static but always in flux. Using texture, collage acrylic mediums, or naturally found elements, I create pieces that appeal to the viewers’ sense of movement.
I am most influenced by the ongoing processes of wind and rain and their effects on humans, animals, and the abstractions of life itself. I often incorporate photography, fiber, found materials, and hand-colored papers to enhance my subject matter. I am always experimenting and trying new techniques: adding and subtracting, layering, and simplifying to express the movement within.
Her paintings today display her love of texture by building up layers of paint, polymers, fabrics, and papers as the foundation for the subject matter. The finished pieces invite touching as well as viewing to be fully appreciated. Whether the paintings depict recognizable subjects or are completely abstract, there is an enigmatic beauty of movement and mystery to be enjoyed.
Recently, Merry was featured in the Jupiter Magazine (September 2021) for her paintings in the Lighthouse Gallery. She has sold extensively in the South Florida and Orlando areas to local collectors. Her paintings have been shown at the Cait Rose Gallery in Delray Beach as well as many art shows both online and in person. She received a Certificate of Recognition by Art Impact International (January 2021).
