Red used consistently in all studios. Mary’s studios have always evolved out of her necessity to create, wherever possible. “It is not a house of perfect taste. But it is made from scraps and contributions and materials on hand. It is colorful, cozy, inconspicuous but not without charm. Above all it is my own roof where I find solitude and beauty in living, both of which my nature requires. The glass is exposed not only to the peace of the woods, but to full sun all day. Even in my 8’ x 12’ space I have room for small work in clay.”—from a letter home, February 25, 1957 <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b1e34b69b44d2df6184080880d6685b1884e20057c958edad9696edc465b1672/IMG_3551.jpg" data-mid="35701144" border="0" data-scale="56" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b1e34b69b44d2df6184080880d6685b1884e20057c958edad9696edc465b1672/IMG_3551.jpg" /> 2019 VIEW OUT OF THE STUDIO and into the “peace of the woods” Her current studio, on the edge of the Columbia River, Oregon, was created in a similar spirit: hand-built in 1977 by Mary and her cousin with mostly salvaged materials.

Regardless of obstacles or fame or monetary gain, one creates because one must: it is in the fibre of one’s being. Often the only reward is the selfless joy along with the pain in the creative process, then the intended response from the viewer without further comment. The truly great are few. But midst so much mediocrity, to aspire to becoming a good artist by realizing one’s potential is commendable. For through such good works one can make a meaningful contribution. I do not believe art should degrade by adding to the ugliness of the world, rather delight, inspire or in some way touch the heart and uplift the soul. My work is both liturgical and secular. My intent is to interpret an idea, a feeling, perhaps an unappreciated form in nature by reducing it to the essence and hopefully, instilling a spiritual quality while working directly with the dictates of permanent materials in an honest, imaginative way—Mary Lewis <img width="597" height="800" width_o="597" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a8d3cb76844762a60776f034f3540a4194d16b395e51be3d0b46184dc5f9c813/Mary-Lewis-carving-FISH.jpg" data-mid="43958589" border="0" data-scale="56" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/597/i/a8d3cb76844762a60776f034f3540a4194d16b395e51be3d0b46184dc5f9c813/Mary-Lewis-carving-FISH.jpg" /> 2008 Mary in her Columbia River studio carving FISH Redwood, 51” x 29” Artist Milestones:1945 - 1950 B.S., Sculpture, University of Oregon with Mark Sponenburgh (teacher, mentor and lifelong friend). <img width="800" height="1023" width_o="800" height_o="1023" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2e93dc2fc831d0e1f5ac14396455d49b01028fd45ed3f7593128d706cfa9258c/Untitled-Bust-1947_48-Mary-Lewis.jpg" data-mid="43959423" border="0" data-scale="56" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/800/i/2e93dc2fc831d0e1f5ac14396455d49b01028fd45ed3f7593128d706cfa9258c/Untitled-Bust-1947_48-Mary-Lewis.jpg" /> 1947-48&nbsp;UNTITLED BUST Glazed, pressed terra-cotta from a nine-piece plaster mold, life size <img width="800" height="733" width_o="800" height_o="733" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/53c6e568416b5aed3abc2772a17e6023a9f7f37b841938dcc2938a7c3ec380e3/sketch-of-brother-john-summer-48.jpg" data-mid="44005926" border="0" data-scale="56" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/800/i/53c6e568416b5aed3abc2772a17e6023a9f7f37b841938dcc2938a7c3ec380e3/sketch-of-brother-john-summer-48.jpg" /><img width="800" height="526" width_o="800" height_o="526" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1c605dce5bb9f1609f0bd7525c7f707f242cba557a19883f6d3d1a0751bd8500/The-Old-Mill-Elkhorn-Montana.jpg" data-mid="44005927" border="0" data-scale="56" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/800/i/1c605dce5bb9f1609f0bd7525c7f707f242cba557a19883f6d3d1a0751bd8500/The-Old-Mill-Elkhorn-Montana.jpg" /> Summer 1948 BROTHER, JOHN asleep after his shift in the mine, pencil.&nbsp;THE OLD MILL (above) Elkhorn, Montana, pencil and watercolor.&nbsp; Context of the Elkhorn drawings:“My father was a Mining Engineer and Geologist. In 1933 he resigned from his position with the U.S. General Land Office to pursue his interests in the Elkhorn District until his death in 1974. I was studying art with a major in sculpture and took any summer job I could find to finance my education. In the summer of 1948 Dad hired my Brother, John, and me to watch the pumps in one of the old mines that he was exploring (if the pumps stopped, the water level rose again to flood the mine).&nbsp; While John slept after his shift, I walked up the lonely dark road with flashlight and our collie, King to our “office.” Every two hours I lighted my lamp and let myself down the inclined shaft, hand over hand on the rope to some depth until I could hear the pump running and know that all was well. I remember the absolute darkness except from my dim lamp, the smell of carbide, the dripping water in unseen pools around me. Then, two bright eyes of our faithful dog welcomed me at the head of the shaft on my return. When the sun came up, I illustrated letters to friends and made drawings. How I found the courage for this job, I do not know. But my studies were all important, and youth has no fears. Ironically, I have never liked anything to do with mining. My interest is in the big stones suitable for carving.”&nbsp; 1950 - 1953Master of Fine Arts, Syracuse University.
