"I was out foraging in the woods today,
This morning, when it was cooly,
Dark, and quiet, only the birds had a say.
I saw the sun force the darkness to hide,
Allowing me to see;
Strewn branches, twigs and leaves astride.
Dead waste or my fire’s delight?!
I came home successfully,
Joyfully and proud with the efforts of my might."

Painter Mary Sauer was born in Greenville, Kentucky in 1986. Her work has been exhibited throughout the United States including over a dozen shows in New York City alone. Mary is a 2014 recipient of The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant for traditional figure painting and winner of the 2014 Director’s Award at the Springville Museum of Art’s annual Spring Salon. Mary's art is influenced by nineteenth century painting including John Singer Sargent, the Pre-Raphaelites, and the French Academics as well as contemporary realist academic painting and fashion photography.
