"When I was three years old, my mother set up my first easel," Mary Beth Thorngren recalls, "and it is the same easel I use today."
After receiving a B.F.A. in painting from East Texas State University, Mary Beth headed to London to concentrate on her skills in watercolor.
Mary Beth approaches the empty canvas with brush and paint, never sketching an image in advance. She works in the style of the Abstract Expressionists, applying the paint rapidly and loosely. Jackson Pollack is among her many influences.
Recently married and living in Boulder, Mary Beth paints from her home studio. She is an established member of the Denver Art Company. The alliance with DAC has increased the exposure of Mary Beth's original artwork throughout the country. "I am particularly proud of the opportunities I have had in the last year and look forward to being represented by Wild Apple Graphics."
