Mary Gaylord Loy

As the events that touched my life changed—family and friends, war, peace, politics, theater, women's rights, social justice, travels to Maine, Mexico, and abroad—so did the focus of my work.

The formal elements of painting and drawing—line, pattern, color, space—have always been of primary concern to me. I would call myself a "drawer" who paints. I try to achieve my objective through conscious and subconscious processes. It is difficult for me to find the words to clarify the "why" for much of this work. Some images are obvious; others have strayed from the initial intention and have become an enigma, even to me.
