Mary Reilly
Riverbank 2, photorealist graphite nature drawing, 2018

2018

About the Item

Mary Reilly explores the full tonal depth of graphite in her nature drawings and landscapes. She finds all of the soft subtleties of gray as she shifts seamlessly from branch to pebble to pebble, shadow to highlight, foreground to background. Reilly uses a reductive technique, erasing away at her shading and lines to achieve this gradated effect. New York native Mary Reilly studied art at SUNY Purchase, the School of Visual Arts, the Art Students League of New York, and the National Academy School of Fine Arts. After a career as a graphic designer, she began pursuing her career as an artist full time and studied with artists Frederick Brosen and Sharon Sprung. She currently lives and works in Manhattan. Framed size: 25.25 x 35.25
