Mary Wehner

In my view, there are no boundaries between color, shape, and language.

In my view, there are no boundaries between color, shape, sound, language. There is sound in the color red, there is color in a Bill Evans tune. Words are made up of sound transported to meaning. My paintings are made up of texture, color and shapes, a translation of an abstracted language.
