From Her Brilliant and Bold Art Exhibit El Pueblo February 15 2019
Mary Lou Pape
A passion for nature has made wildlife and the western way of life the principal focus of my work. Growing up in Topeka, Kansas, horses were the favorite subjects of my childhood drawings and still are to this day.
Travels to National Parks, nature preserves and rodeos and ranches in America continually provide me with inspiration for my paintings of life in our remarkable country. I am drawn to intimate views of animals, people and their surroundings and particularly love to portray the way light enriches the drama of a painting.
I have studied with many of the pinnacle artists working today, including Greg Beecham, John Seery-Lester, Terry Isaac, Robert Shufelt, Luke Frazier, Jill Soukup, Jay Moore, Jan Martin McGuire and others. I attended Washburn Academy in Topeka, Kansas as a Fine Art major.
My main mediums are oil, pastel and pencil. I live in Topeka, Kansas with my husband Larry.
