About the Artist
Mary Vorhes
I enjoy creating art because it helps me shift my emotions from anxious to calm and from depressed to happy. I started with photography, and that has remained an important part of my artistic journey. Over time, I?ve also ventured into painting and cutting paper to create mixed-media art. Art gives me joy and helps me feel more alive when I?m feeling down. Nature is a big inspiration for my work. I love capturing flowers, trees, and other elements of the natural world, whether through photography or painting. One technique I?ve been developing involves scraping away paint to create designs, like in my piece "Palm Tree." Sometimes, I use a sponge to steady my hand when it shakes, allowing me to work with more control. Art is what gives me life and helps me feel grounded.
