Mary K VanGieson
I am an artist, educator, storyteller and sometime writer. I received my BAE from Oklahoma State University and my MFA from the University of Memphis. I discovered early on that educating high school people in the visual arts is a completely rewarding career.
I delve into themes of Cover, Cloak, Shadow, Loss and Erosion. My work encompasses drawing, painting, book arts, printmaking and alternative media sculpture and has been exhibited throughout the United States.
​
I am what I have learned. I remember to light the candles. I never regret. If the horse dies I get off. I don't postpone joy. I know that grief lasts forever, and that life should abrade.
I live and work in Memphis, TN.
