About The Artist…

Mary Lazar has painted fabric for over 30 years, practicing batik and making artcloth.  She graduated from Wright State University with degrees in Fine Arts and Art Therapy and has been a working artist/art therapist for 20 years in northern Virginia. I have always enjoyed the journey even though sometimes I did not know how I was getting there and what I would do when I arrived. the unpredictability is one of the real benefits of our lives in these busy times.  For the past 20 year, my dear husband Tony has joined me in this adventure.

My artwork is two-fold:  I make scarves which are mostly decorative and I make wall hangings which are more serious and often make a social statement. Some of my favorite artists are Francisco Goya, Kathe Kolwitz, Claude Monet, Henri Matisse, Paul Cezanne and Pablo Picasso.

Offering on tour:  Refreshments, batik demonstrations, sales of scarves, wallhangings, watercolors on silk and paper, earrings made of silk and paper.
