the Joy OF Art

A snapshot was in order when world famous artist Simon Bull visited his friend Mary Titus at her gallery. Mr. Bull watched Mary Munstermann getting her lesson saying that she has real talent and will go far as an artist.

"A place exists between this world and the next... it is from this threshold that I paint. Magnificent personal satisfaction can be found by exploring the unknown, putting brush to canvas and watch magic appear. Somehow it gives me a minute sense of what the process of manifesting the planet must have been like, as God perhaps experiences in all His creations. To be one with this is a cherished joy for which I am humbly grateful. The teachers who have had the greatest influence have conveyed one essential message to me - "let go". There is more... such as watching the viewers expressions when a painting resonates with them, seeing that connection occur is an amazing process. Somehow a light goes on in the viewer and there is a transformation as a result of their physical, emotional and/or spiritual translation of an art piece. Whether it is my art, or another art form - poetry, sculpture, music, it is wonderful to watch as it is received and enlightens those who chose to envelope the gift." -Mary Munstermann

In 2013 Mary Munstermann began expanding her art media to include acrylics. During her visits to Carmel, Mary would often visit the Titus Gallery and admire the magnificent art on exhibit. While strolling the streets in Carmel in May of 2013 she brought her husband into the Titus Gallery to show him the work of Mary Titus. It was at this time that a meeting occurred with Mary Titus who graciously shared her wealth of knowledge and gave Mary some helpful tips. Mary Titus agreed to give a lesson at her gallery. It was from here that Mary was initiated into abstract arcylic art.
