Mallory's Gallery

I want seemingly mundane details to transcend the everyday and become a work of art in people’s eyes. To do this, I recontextualize them by exploring abstraction. My artistic inspiration is drawn from the real world -- what I see around me. But I relish the challenge of pushing these details beyond reality, where the intrinsic beauty found in them is pulled to the forefront. I am a realist fascinated with abstraction. So, in my work, I search for that sweet spot where abstraction and realism can coexist. 

This is the start of a new painting series of various water and reflective details I find in everyday life. But they are macro views, so they also become wild, abstract paintings. When you read the titles, you may start to see your world differently.
