Mary Wells works in three distinct mediums – paper collage, paint and book arts. Her work is realistically coherent, based on personal experience and tied to a sense of place. Using images primarily derived from photos she has taken during her travels or of places she has lived, Wells incorporates some aspect of landscape, memory and journey into all of her work. Wells has developed a unique collage technique she has adapted from the Roman craft of mosaico minuto using tiny bits of paper in place of the Italians’ glass tesserae. Her landscape paintings are either oil or acrylic on panel.
