Surrealistic Period
Many artists even today were inspired by Surrealism which began in the 1920’s after World War II. My favorite artists from this period are Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte but I also enjoy the post-impressionist period with artists such as Henri Rousseau for his interpretation of the wild nature of the jungle. The power of the imagination and how it’s conveyed through surrealism continues to inspire me today.

Mary Poniatowski
Mary Poniatowski is an accomplished painter, who works primarily in oils on canvas. She developed her skills as an artist at the Hartford Art School and Rhode Island College graduating with a BS in Art Education. Her creativity later transitioned into a successful Marketing career for a number of high-tech companies.
Mary has lived in Cardiff for 27 years and has been enriched by the natural beauty she wakes up to every day. Now retired, Mary spends her time painting landscapes inspired by her surroundings. Many of her paintings play with a juxtaposition of a man-made object, set against a striking ocean or sunset. From the walls of her home, her paintings reflect her passion for creating original works of art
