IMPRESSIONS BY MARY QUIROS Mary is a native of Laredo, Texas, which influences her work. The vibrant colors of this border culture explode in her work, whether in watercolor or acrylic. Though she often mixes other media, she states that there is such a harmony between watercolor and the creative process, that it is a joy to work with it. Mary’s eyes guide her art. She draws from the small blossom, the obscure window and the silence of a silhouette.

In 1977, after painting in oils and acrylics for 7 years, Mary found fluidity of expression in watercolor. Though she often mixes other media, she states that there is such a harmony between watercolor and the creative process, that it is a joy to work with it.

Mary’s watercolors have been exhibitied in Texas, Colorado, South Carolina, Missouri and Kansas, as well as a show at the Contemporary Museum of Modern Art in Nigata, Japan. She was featured in the Texas Watercolor Society publication “Fifty Years of Excellence” and the summer edition of Watercolor Magazine, both 1999 editions. The Laredo Center for the Arts exhibited her works in a “one woman” show in 1998, 2002, 2004, and 2007. In 2003, Mary was juried into the 13th edition of the “Encyclopedia of Living Artists” in America and in 2005 the 14th Edition of Living Artists. Another work, “Mariposas” was published in a North Light Book for artists entitled “Splash 8”. 

Mary is a signature member of Texas Watercolor Society with Sage Brush status Watercolor USA and Southwestern Watercolor Society and Kansas Watercolor Society and Houston Watercolor Society.
