| Mary Lou Siefker creates a world of expressive color and rhythm in her acrylic and mixed media paintings. The work is done in a free spontaneous manner, employing both intellect and emotion in order to solve the problem of the canvas. It is a subjective communication between the canvas and painter that has moments of joy, fulfillment, accomplishment and frustration. Siefker was painting landscapes when she began to explore the human form in her current "Images" series. These "images" or "people shapes" are loosely figural in form and emerge from vibrant teeming surfaces created through the thick application of acrylic paint mixed with other media. These "images", which emanate from her subconscious, first began in the landscape, moved into interiors, relationships, emotions. With
undergraduate work at Mount Saint Joseph College and Wittenberg
University in Ohio, The artist holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in
Painting from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida.
Siefker, a Florida resident, is a docent at the Museum of Art in
Fort Lauderdale. She has given painting demonstrations on public
television and taught painting at Florida Atlantic University. In
1994 she was awarded the prestigious $15,000 fellowship grant from
the South Florida Cultural Consortium. |
