GALLERY VII
Mary Iselin is a professional artist whose paintings in oil are
filled with light. The sheep and lambs which become her "models"
are usually from her own flock, bred for the ability of their fleece
to "take the light." Her landscape motifs are selected
for their special qualities of light, color, atmosphere, and "place."
And horses, which she believes to be a bridge between art, spirit,
and everyday life, have always been a favorite motif. Married for
thirty years to a farmer and farrier, Iselin believes in the old
dictum, "Paint what you know, paint what you love." "I
paint horses or sheep the way some artists would paint a bowl of
fruit," she says. "As a vehicle to explore light, color,
atmosphere, and, most of all, spirit." Iselin has won many
awards, exhibits both regionally and nationally, and is a faculty
member at the Sharon School of Art, in Peterborough, New Hampshire.
