With few playmates and no distractions from the outside world, she absorbed the colours and lines within the boundaries of her horizons. A theme of isolation marks her enduring relationship with that stark landscape and each piece is infused with a sense of colour unique to those early experiences. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eArtist Statement\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\nI have always been captivated by the glow of precious metals so it’s no surprise that my medium is metallic leaf. As a child, I admired the beautiful iridescent shine on the backs of beetles who visited us like winged jewels on hot summer nights. I collected the shiny gold and coloured foil wrappers from chocolate and candies and kept them in a special box together with the ‘silver linings’ from abandoned cigarette packets. Years later, as a decorative artist, I found my niche in the traditional art of gilding, working with silver, gold and copper leaf. I became very familiar with the nuances of the fragile foil and happily discovered along the way that some of my ‘mistakes’ could now be employed as techniques.","products":[{"product_id":"55","title":"Patch of Blue, 18\" x 18\"","description":"\u003cp\u003epainting\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mary Hanson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33856649166980,"sku":"","price":600.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0284\/9275\/9172\/products\/patch-of-blue-18-x-18-painting-m-hanson-869909.jpg?v=1629308176"},{"product_id":"2365","title":"Flying at Daybreak, 16\" x 24\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eMixed media and metal leaf\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mary Hanson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33856662339716,"sku":"","price":600.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0284\/9275\/9172\/products\/flying-at-daybreak-16-x-24-painting-m-hanson-730663.jpg?v=1629308144"},{"product_id":"2366","title":"Autumn Flare, 18\" x 48\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eMixed media and Metal leaf (Framed) by M.
