Mary Benson of Mary Benson Art

Mary Benson is a contemporary painter out of Charlotte, North Carolina whose unique style blends contemporary impressionism with stained glass-inspired abstract shapes. Mary's work is grounded in her love of natural landscapes which she captures in a romanticised mosaic of bright and pastel color. 

In this episode, Mary and I talk taking the leap to become a full time artist, discovering your own distinctive artistic technique, and the promise of social media. We also continue my impromptu new Would You Rather segment -- this time pre-planned!

I chose to reach out to Mary, first, because her work stood out as artwork I coveted. I hope you all enjoy meeting Mary and taking in her beautiful art!
