Mary E (ME) Simon enjoys working in a variety of mediums, making each piece fresh and exciting as she changes styles and textures. Inspired by her surroundings, she works primarily from her own photographs and experiences from the different parts of the world she has lived and traveled with her family. From 2013-2016, Mary lived in Athens, Greece, for her husband’s career. Since their return to the states, Mary has been thrilled to combine that experience with her new artwork as she continually learns and grows as an Artist.
Select accomplishments by the Artist during her time in Athens include:
Parthenon Pediment, watercolor installed in Art Collection American Embassy Athens 2016
Athens Heritage Art Project (AHAP), Committee Member 2016
Artist Residency, Skopelos Foundation for the Arts, Skopelos, Greece 2015
Solo Exhibitions, American Embassy Athens, Greece (approximately 20-22 new paintings each Exhibition) 2016, 2015, 2014
NOTE FROM THE ARTIST AS OF FEBRUARY 2019: Always working my way out of my comfort zone, looking forward to sharing exciting news for this coming year, stay tuned! I have been blessed with Guest Artist opportunities, local Exhibitions, and vendor shows since May 2017. Will be updating this site with many more images of current artwork. I've also begun to offer to the public my new Eco Art works, a passion of mine forever! Have been busy with Custom House Portraits and Boho Dreamcatchers as well! Thank you for stopping by, watch for updates. (In the words of a wise man, "If it were easy, everyone would be doing it!")
