Art and Wine Auction-Mary Marquiss
Flourishing by Mary Marquiss
Mary Marquiss is a fifth generation Oregonian and received her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Oregon. She has been the signature artist for numerous special events, including the Deschutes Art and Wine Auction for her painting “Understated Elegance”. Marquiss teaches a range of art classes throughout Oregon with an emphasis on individual style. Her work is collected commercially and privately in Europe, Australia and the U.S. She is a founding member of the Tumalo Art Co. now located in The Old Mill District of Bend.
Artist statement: The inspiration for my art comes from growing up in the lush Oregon valley where natural beauty is abundant. My paintings emphasize color and contrast and move from a light, transparent whisper to strong pigment. As both an artist and writer there is a story laced with symbolism behind every painting. My subject matter ranges from the strength of a single flower, to the patina of an ancient stone cottage, a street scene in the heart of Paris, and a luscious still life with colorful produce.
You can bid on Mary’s piece at the 18th Annual Art and Wine Auction. For more information, visit www.deschuteschildrensfoundation.org
