This February artist Mary Ternus will display works from two series, “Monumental Landscapes” and “Women Erased” in the Mellon Room of the Northeast Harbor Library.

Monumental Images: Look close. Look closer. Put the vast and intricate majesties of our world and galaxies beyond our imagination into manageable form and… Well, that’s the goal with these monumental paintings.

Women Erased: In this ongoing project, I honor the women whose contributions went unrecognized. Maybe you know some unsung women, maybe you are one? If you have names of remarkable women who should be recognized, I’d love to have their names. Please be part of this project, contact me at my information below.

Mary is a classically-trained artist specializing in portraits, landscapes and still life subjects. She has a BA in Art History from American University in Paris, studied at the École des Beaux-Arts, École des Arts-Décoratifs and the École de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture.
