MARY KAY WEST
American
Mary Kay West is a native of Asheville,North
Carolina and is the daughter
of watercolorist Elizabeth Phillips. Mary Kay began painting as a child
next
to her mother's easel.Her diverse interests have led her to express her
artistic
abilities in a variety of settings including set design for theater, mural
painting,
costume and clothing design as well as jewelry and accessory design. Painting,
however, has been her continuing passion.
"Viewing the glorious works of Mary Kay West is truly a gracious
and
bountiful feast for the eyes. Her classic realist images in oil are masterful
and convey a timeless quality that reaches further than that of traditional
still life and landscape compositions. Each painting reveals a skillful
touch
in which a marvelous technique unveils a richness and vibrancy to her
art."
Katherine Koenig, City SunTimes.
In 2006, Mary Kay completed a 4 year
apprenticeship with Ben Long and
John MacKah at the Fine Arts League of Asheville specializing in landscape
and still life. Mary Kay currently lives in Santa Ynez, California.
