Cosmic Cow

by Mary Alice Landry

“I love creating Art to honor Mother Earths beauty by painting landscapes in a variety of styles and colors, varying from abstract realism to whimsical or ethereal spiritual perceptions. My love for all animals, especially those that are endangered or abused/abandoned, I will create them and give the paintings a personified interpretation of how I see them. Gentle, magical creatures. I enjoy using bright colors and utilize Posca Pens with my Acrylic as a standard now. As I have severe Rheumatoid Arthritis that affects my ability to have a steady hand, I’ve needed to adapt and find new mediums and a style that works with my disabilities. I also have permanent damage to my spine from degenerative diseases and have had 7 spinal surgeries. Art to me is very healing, and I utilize it close to daily as it can transport me to a place outside time and space where I can forget about my pain for a few hours.”
