About the artist

Mara Lehman has recently moved to upstate New York. She resided in New Jersey for over thirty years, employing her talents as a textile designer, graphic artist, and art instructor. She has taught oil painting at an Adult Education Center and has run arts programs for several youth groups, day camps and after school programs.

Growing up in New York, she began oil painting lessons at age ten. Family travels, as well as escapes into the country often proved to be inspiring subject matter for her paintings, and still are to this day. Mara paints simple, quiet scenes of country roads, river inlets, working farms and wooded paths in a traditional, representation style. She endeavors to capture the nature beauty and serenity of the countryside on her canvases, using subdued colors, forceful tones, and shifting lights and shadows.

“To be in the country among the trees, rolling hills, blue sky and earth. To walk along a wooded path and visually drink in all that surrounds me. To take a deep breath and inhale the crisp clean air. TO exhale amid the beauty of nature before me. To give a sigh and feel at peace with myself and my surroundings. To capture on canvas these feelings of tranquility evoked by nature. This has always been my endeavor as well as my source of inspiration” - Mara Lehman
