| Introduction | Mary K. Bryson was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. She started her formal art training in college where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Washington University in St. Louis, MO. She received a Masters of Associated Medical Science. In 1990, she opened her own medical illustration studio and has since produced award winning illustrations for pharmaceutical companies, medical journals and advertising agencies worldwide. Mary’s landscape paintings emerged in 1998 when she realized she had not painted with the color green in 8 years. (Medical illustration does not use any green unless one is painting the gall bladder.) This yearning led her, literally, to greener pastures, where she paints in oils and pastels. Mary discovered the genre of still life painting in 2008 when she studied with Pennsylvania artist Frank Arcuri. As a still life painter, she manipulates the viewer by first enticing him with the light and then inviting him to explore the shadows of a painting. It is an adventure and an indulgence for the eyes. |
