The Artist Window, By Mary Scinto
Insight from the Artist: Out the window, the old crumbling candy pink stone walls stood tall since 1838. The chipping paint and faded color evidence of the deluges, winds, inesescable heat and beating New Orleans summer sun. A storm rolled in as the painter's palette was set. Watching the sky transform sitting childlike on the floor, the light bounced ever so gently off the fern leaves as the brush strokes danced onto the canvas. Soon an image appeared unlike the rest, a studio view - a moment before the curtain call. The canvases stacked one by one as they multiplied each day with a faint inscription 'I gave my all.'

About the Artist
Mary is a New Orleans and Connecticut based multidisciplinary artist, observer, and thinker. Through her work, she seeks understanding of her place in the world, and in relationship to others. Her artistic process mirrors a non-linear path of self actualization, questioning constructs of value, happiness, and truth in society. Mary uses art to communicate the essential need for developing identity reflective of intrinsic human value— the value of an individual as a part of humanity. Her work exists to open silenced conversations of what makes us human- what gives us purpose- what makes us feel alive. In a world neglecting the soul & the spiritual, Mary uses paint as a medium exploring the transitory nature of life and the immortal facets that belong to a picture of possibility and hope for the individual + society.
Art making is a radical act of liberation, and a survival mechanism. It is through painting that Mary is able to reconcile her inner and outer worlds, finding peace within the subconscious reckoning of the conscious ego. Her work challenges traditional ideas of beauty and abstraction.
