The Artist
Mary Joan took painting lessons as a small child, developing a love of oils and the unique pigments they offered. She continued her studies into adulthood in the United States, Europe, and the Far East, immersing herself in the cultures and the stimulation they provided, after which time she became a Professor of Fine Arts and Humanities at Florida State College at Jacksonville. In 2005, she received her PhD and continued to teach and exhibit throughout the eastern United States; 2020 brought a change, however, when she decided to focus solely on her artistic endeavors, and has since produced large scale murals in the neighborhood of St. Nicholas and the Naval Air Station Jacksonville, as well as a solo exhibition at the Goodyear Cottage at Jekyll Island.
Mere facades give way to a deeper, more profound reality found only in the subconscious. Each piece is connected to a surrealistic realm, and Wings of Alchemy lends truth to the proverbial message that often things are not what they seem. What is the truth? Is the reality the dream or is the dream the reality? Should we ever be fooled by superficial glamour? Does it distract us from the deeper psychological truths? These works create a new reality by combining seemingly unrelated objects, placing them alone against the “glitter” of an unsettling truth. We question reality because common objects are combined in an obscure composition juxtaposition.
