Art by Maryanne Hawes
With successful careers in Garden Design and Portrait Photography behind me, I came to painting in my 50th year. I now paint full time and live and work between the Wye Valley and my family’s homeland, Cornwall. As a bit of an amateur psychologist (in other words, I find endless fascination in people and how we all experience life), I’m captivated by the influence of what we can’t see – how the unseen energies of people, spaces and places affect how we perceive the world, and how this energy contributes to a complex and changing emotional topography.
Making and exploring art is a way of mapping and navigating these ‘interior landscapes.’
My bold, abstract paintings appeal to the intuitive and open minded. They encourage you to pause, and feel, and experience the calm of being present in a moment. Largely a self-taught painter, my process is intuitive and meditative, an unfolding of thought in shape and colour. Decisions are made where brush meets paint.
A growing tribe of supporters and collectors are following my progress in social media and have enjoyed my public shows in Bath, Monmouthshire, Cornwall, Devon and Prague.
