Victoria Smith

Blue Moon Literary & Art Review Issue 7

Born into a family of artists, painting and drawing is literally my first language. I continue to be fascinated with the mysteries of composition and texture. The act of brush to paint, or pencil to paper holds great power for me, which have only continued to deepen over time. Contact her at victoriasmith@comcast.net.

Blue Moon Literary & Art Review Issues 2 and 3
 
I’ve gathered my vision of Americana from across the country - from my early years in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to working on the family ranch in the Sacramento Valley, and onto urban life in Minneapolis, New York, and the Bay Area.  I’ve now settled back in the Central Valley with the hope that sharing my view of the American landscape may help to bring about a conscious effort to preserve the shared heritage of our recent past.

 Pat Mahony
Blue Moon Literary & Art Review Issue 4

Pat Mahony was born in 1951 and graduated from the University of California at Santa Barbara with a degree of Bachelor of Arts in Art, with honors, in 1973. Over time her media and subject matter have evolved, but she has maintained her original voice and artistic vision.  Her work hovers between abstraction and representation. Saturated tones, lush abstraction and a brevity of brushstrokes suggest an absence of wasted motion.
