Current Gallery Show: Maria Marx

April 2026

 Maria Marx brings bold color and texture to this month’s featured artwork. She paints almost entirely with palette knives—a practice she adopted decades ago after discovering how freely the tools let her work. For Maria, oil paint moves like “buttering bread,” creating unexpected blends and sculptural surfaces that energize each piece. 

She begins every painting by considering composition, light, and reflective light, then lays down an acrylic underpainting before building rich layers of oil. Landscapes and portraits are her favorite subjects, offering the perfect balance of structure and spontaneity. Her work captures the joy of discovery that keeps her returning to the canvas.

Coming Next Month: Paul D. Collins

May 2026
