Paintings and Drawings
Mary DeStefano

Mary DeStefano is originally from Arkansas, where she began drawing the landscape and animals around her. She received her B.A. focusing on Painting from Yale University in 2005. Since that time she has been painting a series of portraits of family members taken from old photos, but done with a new twist. She's also continued to cultivate her paintings of animals and landscapes. She has shown her work in Arkansas, Connecticut and Washington D.C., and is now exploring art-making in Brooklyn.

Most recent exhibitions include:
Centennial Art Show, Schumacher Gallery, Westover School, Middlebury, CT, April 2010
Group Show, The Trinity Project Gallery, Brooklyn, NY, June 2010

Opening Reception: Wednesday, September 8th, 7-9 p.m.
