Artist Has Been Learning To Paint For Over Two Decades

Mary Bottom is an artist who has been living and working in Maine. Her artistic journey began in her young years when she was a little girl, and since then she has been perfecting her talent.

“I work mainly in oils and love to play with color,” Bottom shared with Bored Panda. “I began learning to oil paint from a family member when I was 11 years old. I fell in love with the medium and have spent the last 22 years working on perfecting my ability to oil paint, especially portrait artwork.”

She seeks her inspiration from many places like vintage photographs, impressionist, and surrealist artists. According to the painter, she loves to combine vintage aesthetics with a more modern, bright color pallet to create artwork that is new, but feels familiar.
