A Contemporary Mirror: Mary Sauer

Available in the April 2014 issue of The Artist's Magazine -- this fantastic interview with Mary Sauer offers a look into the techniques, materials, and process she uses to create her stunning portraits.  Having just observed Mary's work while she was in town to start a portrait commission -- this article is spot on, a MUST read! 

Below are three paintings by Mary that show different steps in her process.
