Mary Boshardt is a printmaker, painter, and ceramic mask artist, now living in Farmington, New Mexico. She considers herself a visionary artist who is guided by Spirit to evoke the emotions of the heart. Mary's vibrant and colorful images are inspired by nature and ancient art. She believes that all art is energy, transforming the invisible and unsaid to a visible form, that speaks to each of us in a unique and personal way.
Although not formally trained, her first introduction to art was in the early 80s in Chicago, Illinois, with ceramics. This led into developing a line of jewelry that was nationally distributed for several years under the name Avaunt Designs to boutiques and department stores across the country. After moving to the Durango, Colorado, area in 1993, she began painting. Participating in workshops with Steven Quiller, Al Brouillete, Nita Leland, Betsy Dillard Stroud and others, greatly contributed to her knowledge and understanding of the artistic process.
Printmaking, using various techniques including monoprints, linocuts, solar etching are now also part of Mary's artistic endeavors. The images used in this work are Mary's interpretations of the ancient rock art found so abundantly in the surrounding area. Her artwork represented here include "Wild One," and "Dreaming."
