THE GALLERY AT GALLIPOTT

Mallory Cash is known for her vibrant landscape oil paintings that reference the impressionistic style most popularly created by Vincent Van Gogh. As a former pet portrait artist, she has painted well over 7,000 pets. During which she traveled in a self-converted van across the US and Canada taking inspirational photos of the locations she visited knowing one day she would paint them. When the Covid-19 pandemic hit she felt the need to create something cheerful and knew to reflect on the inspirational places she visited in her travels. By using vibrant colors as her palette, reference photos as her guide, and reflecting on the experiences she has had in each location she creates scenes that reveal more than a photo can convey.

Annalies was raised in The Netherlands and Germany. Being born to a Dutch mother and an Indonesian father led to a life of diversity, not only through her parent’s cultural differences but also having lived in three different countries. Although born in the US, she, her brother and mother moved to Holland when she was a year old. She returned to the US at the age of 19. Her father’s love of drawing ignited a little spark that over the years steadily grew into a flame, finding expression throughout various avenue’s. It wasn’t until she turned 50 that she allowed her passion specifically for wall art to be realized. “Fear, doubt and insecurity are toxic feelings. Its energy will cause a crippling effect on one’s psyche, a paralysis of sorts, resulting in the inability to fully be free and

become your true authentic self. I have given the “finger” to these toxic feelings and in the

context of creating and feeling inspired, I am embracing the fact I am an artist, and can refer to myself as an artist. Dare to be seen, put yourself out there and just have fun!” Annalies predominantly uses pre-used canvases and recycled materials for her art pieces which can include acrylic and recycled paint, as well joint compound any discarded glues, spackle and other forms of medium that will bring dimension to her pieces.

Catherine says - I love to paint rooms.  The walls, ceiling, doors even trim.   Furniture too–using sandpaper, glazing and texture tools to turn old worn-out dressers and buffets into renewed pieces.  Then was it a leap, step or gentle push to take my tools and begin on canvas? I use the same brushes, tapes, edging tools and furniture gadgets I now use to make my art creations on canvas.  I pull inspiration from the ordinary and try to create a bit of extraordinary. Sometimes it works and just like painting walls, sometimes it doesn’t. It’s my journey and I hope you come along for the ride. Enjoy.
