Artist's Statement
Mary Ann Grainger primarily works today in sculpture and mixed media. In 2009 she became a full time artist and in 2010 joined the Al Green Sculpture Studio where she took her fear in hand and began to experiment. This site features examples of the many directions this experimentation has resulted in… so far.
“My art explores how I feel about life and the world in which I live. It hopefully challenges the viewer to participate in the art, ultimately causing the viewer to ponder how they feel about their life and the world we all share. Then again, sometimes a piece has no greater intention than to share a simple, pure emotion.”
