Mary Ann Peters
born Beaumont, Texas, 1949
Mary Ann Peters creates her paintings using a method that has an affinity to the “automatic writing” process developed by surrealist writers. These early authors and poets attempted to tap directly into the unconscious by allowing themselves to write freely, unbound from logic and grammar. Peters builds each composition from a spontaneous arrangement and accumulation of marks and lines, which are filtered through her aesthetic sense and experience.
