About

Mary L Falco

Visual Artist

 

Circles and geometry! Circles have such a clear definition and warm encapsulation of what is within them.  The intersection of lines can enhance and frame the negative space on the page/canvas. I work in black and white.

​

I am currently working on pulling my designs off the page and introducing color.  Creating two- and three-dimensional pieces using multiple mediums. I display shadows of the circles and lines by using acrylic markers to paint on multiple sheets of glass which are then layered and presented in a shadow box.  The shadows can then move per the viewers’ movements and the light directed on the box.

I have been given a gift that I can share with others by creating my art. What inspires me is the happiness I feel while creating my art especially when it comes together.  I have been influenced by many artists; Piet Mondrian, Wassily Kandinsky, Lazlo Moholy Nagy, Kurt Schwitters, Sonia Delaunay, Louise Nevelson, Jean Tinguely, Joan Miro and Barbara Hepworth. Thank you Mrs. Cohen Bayside H.S. for telling my parents I had to go to art school for college.
