Working in two distinct styles, Mary Watkins captures both vibrant landscapes and deep, surreal themes.

​

Her landscape paintings, inspired by a blend of captured images and memories, burst with color and shifting light. They offer whimsical interpretations of the world around us—capturing fleeting moments like sunlight filtering through trees or the glow of a distant horizon, transforming familiar places into dreamlike reflections of time and emotion.

​

In contrast, her surrealist paintings explore the contradictions of human emotion, focusing on themes of longing, self-expectation, and transformation. Recurring imagery—interacting figures, hands, and celestial elements—reflects internal dialogues and personal introspection in a elentless search for meaning, offering a visual language for the quiet tension of self-discovery.

​

Through both styles, Mary’s work is connected by a fascination with movement, light, and the ever-shifting nature of perception.
