Studio Visit – Mary Zeran
Please join us for a visit to contemporary abstract painter, Mary Zeran’s studio in the Cherry Building. Please contact organizer, Leah Greif, if you plan to attend.
From Mary’s website:
“My work is rooted in the belief that joy is a form of resistance.
In a world that often asks us to shrink, dim, or disconnect from ourselves, I create art that does the opposite—it reignites, expands, and remembers. Through bold color, layered texture, and abstract form, I make work that reconnects people with their vibrancy—the part of them that still feels curious, alive, and full of possibility.
My materials and process mirror this emotional landscape. I paint on transparent polyester film using fluid acrylics, letting color slide, pool, and collide on uneven surfaces. The result is organic, expressive, and intuitive—compositions that are less about telling a literal story and more about creating a feeling. A reminder. A spark.
Because your light was never lost.
It just needed something to reflect it back.”
