Meet Mary Gallagher Stout. A wife, a mother of two, an actively growing artist at the Lorton Arts Foundation, and a good mentor and friend, graciously posed for a new project that John Robert and I have been planning and collaborating over.
The collection is called Achromatic Expressions. Achromatic means “free from color,” hence, the drawings and photographs of the collection are composed of strictly black and white. And the series of work will focus on the expressive individuality of people. This is the first of the drawings and contribution to the series. While Mary is a woman of many hats and roles, she also has a very animated and youthful personality that is reflected in this giant graphite painting of 40″ by 30″ .
