We have new paintings in Mary Gaspar’s Plant Cell series… 📣
About the Plant Cells:
“I have always been fascinated by the hidden architecture of the botanical world. Within every plant cell exists an intricate universe, rich with movement, structure, and life. Through this series, I explore those unseen landscapes using delicate linear forms and the fluid nature of watercolor.
“As pigment travels through water, it separates, converges, and transforms—mirroring the organic rhythms of living cells. While the compositions appear minimal, they are intended to suggest expansive internal worlds that exist beneath the surface. At their core, these works are about connection: our relationship to nature, to ourselves, and to one another.”
Mary Gaspar is an abstract artist based in Wilmette, Illinois. After studying painting at the Evanston Art Center, she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre from the University of Illinois, where her education deepened her understanding of composition, movement and visual storytelling. Her signature Plant Cell series emerged during the early years of motherhood, as an outlet for an overwhelming surge of creative energy. What began as a deeply personal exploration evolved into a body of work that serves as the foundation for her practice today.
