Welcome to Living Art, the website home
of Maine artist Mary Louise;Town Jaqua. Mary has
painted professionally since 1973 in the disciplines
of oil painting, watercolor, pastel, and mural art.
Her career began in display and advertising art, but
gradually shifted to fine art in 1973. After several
years as a successful muralist, Mary settled on oil
painting as her life's career.
Mary's love for painting is evident in
the quality of her work and the facility with which
she commands her medium. The size and subject matter
of many of her paintings are an indication that Mary
is an artist who is not easily intimidated. Her mural
commissions display a rare sense of design and
execution that is carried into her work as an oil
painter.
Though she is comfortable working in
many media, oil painting is Mary's media of choice,
since she feels it affords her the greatest challenge
and latitude of expression. Her oil paintings reflect
her life, especially as it relates to Maine...her
home since 1984.
