FEATURED ARTIST - February 2004
Mary Baxter St. ClairThe world of Mary Baxter St. Clair can be shared and loved by all. The art of Mary is a collectable limited edition canvas transfer sprinkled with "Pixie Dust" to enhance and entrance the viewer....and enter into a world of pure imagination. Some say Mary Baxter St. Clair entered the world with a brush in her hand. Others remark that she paints with fairy dust. All are touched by her sense of wonder and marvel at her beautifully detailed paintings of wide-eyed children, ethereal angels, elusive fairies and piquant pixies, richly dressed in brilliant colors.
Born in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, into a large, creative family, the artist insists that "Fairies and angels have been part of my life since I was small and have always been very real to me." She claims to borrow their magic in her craft, painting with such realism as to create a longing in the viewer to believe her cherubs are real, and caught unaware, on her canvases. The artist believes that fantasy is necessary and helps us to remain balanced in this all too real world.
Mary's art is intended to be loved and shared. She paints with a feeling of warmth, magic and child-like innocence. This is truly what she would like everyone to experience when they view her art... where one can swim with the mermaids, dance on a spider web tight rope and fly through starlit skies with fairies. The paintings of Mary Baxter St. Claire appeals to the child in all of us and the response to her art has been overwhelming.
