Retired corporate lawyer Mary Edquist only took up art in her early 50s but when she did it produced an explosion of work.
Now the latest exhibition by this Harcourt based artist is about to open at Castlemaine Contemporary Art Space.
Let there be more light will mark a return of public exhibitions to the little local gallery after weeks of coronavirus imposed hiatus.
Mary says the natural landscape of Harcourt has had a strong influence in the creation of the abstract impressionist works, many of them large-scale pieces, that feature in this show. Let there be more light opens at CASPA – situated above Stoneman’s Bookroom – on July 6 and runs through to Friday July 31. With social distancing still in place, gallery visiting times will be limited to Saturdays and Sundays between the hours of 12-4 pm. Read more in the Castlemaine Mail Friday, 03.07.20.
