Mary Colby puts a lot of effort into creating her paintings. Since 1993, she has had her own working studio and exhibition space, which is available for the public to visit and examine her paintings. Many of her works have also been featured as part of other exhibitions throughout her art career, which spans nearly four decades. Colby says much of the work she does is improvised, as she often approaches each canvas with a loose concept in mind. This mindset allows her to work freely on her artistic creations. Her biggest interests in creating art are controlled color palettes, line, shape and surfaces. Her paintings relate to those who view them on an objective and subjective plane of seeing, as well as the conscious and unconscious.
