Mary Sipp Green primarily paints the natural terrain of Martha’s Vineyard—a popular vacation destination off the Massachusetts coast—and remains inspired by its colors and diversity. She works most often with oil on linen, but her techniques and “aesthetic aims” continue to evolve. Less representational and more expressive in style, Sipp Green’s paintings are “explorations in beauty and the spiritual presence found in nature.” She begins by sketching on-site, then starts work in the studio after a “meditative interval of temporal and spatial distance that allows memory and emotion to guide the work.”
