Mary Edwards

The Great Atlantic Church Street Gallery in Monmouth, is pleased to present a collection of paintings by local artist Mary Edwards who lives on a farm not far from the town. Mary’s oil paintings give intriguing views of rural life, which though contemporary, are intensely nostalgic, rustic snapshots of a way of life that we may be tempted to think has long passed by.

“Although I was born in the great industrial city of Coventry, I have spent most of my life in the country.

“My paintings reflect the small moments of time from happy memories and imagination that have been part of my country life for more years than I care to remember.

“I am a self taught painter, fortunate enough to have had work accepted for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, the RWA Open Exhibition (Bristol), the Llewellyn Alexander Gallery (London) and many other exhibitions, both local and further afield.

“I sometimes pinch myself thinking how lucky I am to be a painter - everyday is a new day full of expectation for the magic that painting can bring - when all goes well, and with the knowledge that I can never be bored, there is always so much to see, do and think about.”

Mary Edwards, October 2008
