Take “A CLOSER LOOK” Works by PCA Artist-of-the-Month Mary O’Connell of Westford

WESTFORD, MA: On display From November 24 through December 22, 2024 at Parish Center for the Arts (10 Lincoln Street) will be local Westford artist Mary O’Connell with an exhibition of acrylic and oil paintings on canvas entitled “A Closer Look.” There will be an Artist’s reception on Sunday, December 1 from noon until 3PM.

O’Connell’s framed paintings depict still lifes of food, fruit, flowers and animals rendered in luscious color with realistic modeling. These paintings consider the moment; how light reveals shape, the pleasure of abundance, and simple beauty in nature. Creating has defined Mary’s interests since she was a child. After earning a bachelor’s degree from Northeastern University, she continued her art studies in portrait drawing and painting at the Decordova Museum School and Emerson Umbrella in Concord. Working in her home studio, she gathers many of her subjects from nature, her love of animals, and her travels. She has received recognition locally, having exhibited her work in Chelmsford, Concord, Lexington, Belmont and in the Westford Regional Art Event. Mary O’Connell can be visited online at www.maryoconnellart.com.

The PCA Gallery is open to visitors each Sunday from noon until 2pm. If you would like more information or to volunteer for Gallery Hours at the PCA, please email admin@pcawestford.org.
