Mary Sue Walsh

Studio at Rancho Faisan

​

Mary Sue Walsh was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and received a BFA in Drawing and Painting in 1973 from the University of New Mexico. She lives on a small farm in Corrales, New Mexico,with her horses, dogs, cat and birds.

  The Rio Grande Valley, with its network of acequias, adobes and small farms set against the Sandia Mountains, provides much of the subject matter for her work.  She is represented in many private and coporate collections in the United States and Japan.

  • Statement

    Each day has moments when light illuminates the landscape in a special way or when a face contains a special expression of mirth, power or softness.  It is my objective to take these moments, portray and enhance them so that they can be shared by others.

     

    The Southwestern landscape provides an endless variety of vistas, bathed in a very intense light.  The deep purple shadows contrast the bands and pools of sunlight, giving the most simple settings a special mysterious quality.  I find magic in this landscape and it is a joy and an adventure to pursue it.
