Mary Ann Strandell Collection

NYC-based, Mary Ann Strandell’s artworks are a movable terrain between image, media and their myriad histories. She uses oil painting, drawing, ink, optical-lenticular media, and installation to explore concepts of location, memory, and time. Her ideas about perception, staging, and the decorative interweave traditional and digital mediums, including moving image. Her work examines urbanity and nature through painting and montaged images of the natural world. Her awards include: a NEA grant in painting and a Dodge Fellowship. She has taught and lectured in various universities in the Midwest, Southwest, NY, and recently at Montclair State University.
