“PURTY MOUTH,” MARY THEINERT
2013. Watercolor, pen and ink. 11 × 9 × 1 in.
$500
A native of Shelter Island and graduate of Savannah College of Art and Design, Mary Theinert creates intricate, multimedia works, often with images of conventionally beautiful women that she refers to as “objectified ladies.” Each of her pieces are unique and hand constructed from start to finish using traditional materials and techniques—she begins with a concept sketch that becomes a precise line drawing later transferred onto Arches watercolor paper. After the sketch is transferred, she places her background watercolor wash followed by acrylic paint. The final step is hand applied dip pen and ink line work. Theinert’s work was featured in two Untitled Space exhibitions, “SECRET GARDEN: The Female Gaze on Erotica” and “UPRISE.”
