Mary Chaplin, ' Magical light in Claude Monet’s garden in Giverny’
, The garden of Claude Monet is one of Mary Chaplin’s favourite gardens that she visits regularly at different periods of the year. This garden is like a constant changing tapestry of colour, movement and scents, a wonderful landscape. She specially loves the paths, they are narrow and give the feeling of being bathed in flowers , being a part of the garden yourself. To express this beauty she likes painting in a more figurative way to take the viewer on an impressionistic voyage. Lots of ‘her gardens’ are already in private collections in several countries around the world. This original painting is painted with high quality acrylic on linen canvas, 116x81cm width 2cm. The painting is not framed but ready to be hung. Mary Chaplin is a professional artist who gets a lot of inspiration from her garden. Between impressionism and abstraction, her work gives the subtle atmosphere of a summer’s day using large brush strokes and bold colours. This painting is a very energetic piece of work where you can feel the artist’s happiness and her love for Nature

Mary Chaplin is a French artist and lives and works in Cany-Barville, Nomandy. In a picturesque market town near the famous Etretat, birth place of Impressionism. Mary Chaplin for more than twenty years has worked as a self-taught professional artist, always inspired by nature and by the varying effects of light. Mary Chaplin is an AKOUN rated artist. She started her career by painting figurative scenes she saw around her in the French countryside. Her first artworks were representations of landscapes, gardens, forests, rivers or lakes, which allowed her to explore different techniques, including pastel, oil, acrylic and watercolor. However, both her life and career reached a turning point in 2005 when she witnessed the ‘holy light’ in a chapel she was visiting; she was deeply touched and inspired by the beauty of the reflections coming from the stained-glass windows, and thus she started painting them, calling them her ‘reflections’, or, in French, ‘méditations’. After that experience in the chapel, her will to convey the ephemeral nature of the light she captures, and its soothing warmth, became stronger. This new artistic birth enabled her to follow new paths in which she explores light’s numerous and ever changing facets. This deeply influenced her artistic style and work as it gave them a new dimension, shifting from a figurative representation of light in landscapes and still life to an abstract and more personal and metaphorical interpretation and appropriation of light’s fugacity. The artist’s work spans impressionism to abstraction: Hints of Monet and a sprinkling of Joan Mitchell. But over the years she has built her own distinctive style. Since her beginnings, artist and painter Mary Chaplin’s work has been published in several article in the press and in specialized art magazines. It also has been broadcasted on television and is regularly exhibited in festivals dedicated to sacred art as well as in art galleries throughout different countries, including France, Belgium and England.
