Mary Lonergan Art ~ Summer 2019
Greetings my friends!
Any good reads, films or art to recommend from your summer soirees?? Please share with me!
I trust that the season has been good to you and you’ve gotten some time to be out and about. I recently had the very good fortune to see Hamilton live on stage in San Francisco and was not prepared for the genius of Lin Manuel Miranda! WOW.
Hamilton has been called an “unlikely” cultural phenomenon, but I have to disagree with the word “unlikely”. I think we’ve been waiting for Hamilton, the same way we always wait for our heroes and he’s arrived exactly on time. More on that later…
Speaking of HEROES, I want to mention my dear friend Toshonna Ross, the founder of the Courageous Women Association who every year puts on an Annual FREE Shopping, Pampering, and Community Outreach Day in Oakland which directly helps over 1,000 women and children who will be in attendance!
They are in need of volunteers and donations and this is a great time to give back to the Bay Area impoverished communities. If you are interested, please email them at volunteers@courageouswomen.org for more information. The event happens in Oakland on Saturday, October 26, 2019.
Meanwhile, enjoy my new art work & let me know if I can interest you in a new piece for your place. I’m happy to hear from you and show you around my studio if you’d like to visit, so hit the reply button + say HELLO – it’s been awhile!

Have you seen the Julian Schnabel film, “At Eternity’s Gate”? It’s an intense portrayal of artist, Vincent Van Gogh, gorgeously played by Willem DaFoe. It’s so visually beautiful that I found myself repeatedly thinking about the fields he walked through and the gorgeous color of the countryside captured on this film.
I work on trying to pick up more light in my work…I like where this one ended up.
