She prefers oils, but also uses gouache. Her subject matter is eclectic including, landscapes (mostly plein air), portraits and still life.<\/p>\n<p>She was born in Ireland where she studied medicine. After a public health career in Maryland, she studied painting at Howard Community College and later at MICA and Pennsylvania Academy. She continues to study with several contemporary painters. She has won awards and exhibited in venues across Maryland as well as in Ireland and California.<\/p>\n<p>Katherine has a studio in Ellicott City, named Sheebeen Busy. She and her husband Bernard live in Ellicott City, Maryland and have three daughters and four grandchildren.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artbymjm.com\">Mary Jo Messenger<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mary Jo is passionate about her painting and derives great joy from representing everyday beauty in oil on canvas. Favorite subjects are still life arrangements, portraits, and pets. As an avid gardener and pet owner, she has developed a love of plants and creatures of all kinds, which is reflected in her paintings.\u00a0 She studied at Howard Community College, and currently studies with contemporary realist David Zuccarini at the Howard County Center for the Arts. Mary Jo and her husband, Scrib, live in Columbia, Maryland.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.secretgardenproductions.com\">Lynda Mitic<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Lynda is a realist artist based in Ellicott City, Maryland. Her love of the plant world and photography is reflected in the images she records in her own gardens as well as in those she encounters during her travels. In her paintings, her goal is to vividly capture and magnify the beauty, power, detail and, sometimes, the whimsy of our natural world, as she focuses on the interplay of light and colors on form. Family history is associated with each of these plants that live on timelessly in her paintings in celebration of their natural beauty She studies with well-known realist painter and teacher, David Zuccarini. Lynda and her husband, Sig, live in Ellicott City, Maryland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019re invited to the &#8220;Growing Towards the Light&#8221; art exhibition by Katherine Farrell, Mary Jo Messenger, and Lynda Mitic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25428,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25425","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>&quot;Growing Towards the Light&quot;
