Mary Ellen O'Connor

"My love of nature & wildlife is the foundation of all the art I create." Mary Ellen starts with photographs she takes of gardens, frogs, birds & landscapes & then makes sketches.  She lets those sketches take her to the medium that best expresses her design.
Sometimes the concept will be used in a silver belt buckle. At other times a hand painted scarf will be the right material. Mary Ellen also views architectural etched glass as a wonderful medium for expressing the lines & patterns inspired by nature.
"Color & nature will always be the constant in my work."
