“I work in watercolors to achieve the transparency of oils, the vibrancy of acrylics, and the captivating nature of water. It’s my way of embracing the challenge of controlling the uncontrollable. This unique combination offers an intimate viewing experience; my pieces exude lushness, invite exploration, and radiate vibrancy.“ –Mary Lyn Gough
“I strive to encapsulate an immersive experience in every painting, drawing the viewer into my world, my interpretation of the blossoms, and their mysteries. So lifelike, they seem surreal; my art inspires you to yearn for a caress or to lean in and inhale the fragrance of the flower.”
Queen of the Cosmos by MLGough
In addition to their symbolic value, flowers are used in art for their colorful, intricate patterns
The flowers in Mary Lyn Gough’s art create a sense of atmosphere. The artist uses a dark background to create a sense of mystery and then highlights the characteristics of the flower petals to create a sense of peace and tranquillity.
Using flowers in art has a long and rich history and is an essential part of the artistic process in her work. Mary Lyn’s flowers are integral to her art, whether for their symbolic or aesthetic value or to create a specific atmosphere or mood. They will continue to inspire art patrons each year with her different exhibitions at the Gallery.” — FHG

I am an enthusiastic gardener, and Mother Nature is full of amazing textures, colors, shapes, and patterns. I have always been drawn especially to flowers’ complexities, beauty, and specificity. No two are alike, even from the same variety. They are my subject and inspiration.” Mary Lyn Gough
