Mary Lessing

MaryLessing works in one of the most complex styles of painting I’ve ever witnessed.  She first creates a composite  by carefully drawing one delicate cell on top of another.  She then meticulously paints in each cell with an appropriate shade of gray until her web of shapes becomes dimensional.  A color wash is sometimes applied as you’ll notice in the Joey Ramone painting.  Mary’s understanding of lighting is off the charts.
