MARY JANE ERARD
"My artwork is a reflection of my natural surroundings. A painting may
capture landscapes that I have seen only fleetingly on travels across the
country. However, much of my work depicts scenes that I have visited to
study and absorb. I know that such images, whether studied or viewed only
briefly, will return in my artwork in many ways, be it the mood of a sky, the
angle of a tree branch, the interplay of colors, or the sensuous warmth
of a well remembered day."
