BOCA RATON PUBLIC LIBRARY PRESENTS THE PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBIT, “IMPRESSIONS” BY MARY ANN APPELL
January 6 - February 14
Free
The Spanish River Library in Boca Raton presents a new photographic exhibit, “Impressions” by Mary Ann Appell, a passionate photographer whose work captures the beauty of the world through a lens inspired by both nature and artistic vision. She believes in the profound truth behind the quote by Yann Arthur Bertrand, “The earth is ART, the photographer is only a witness.” This philosophy guides her creative process, as she seeks to document the vivid landscapes and hidden wonders of the world, sharing them with others through her unique images.
Mary Ann honed her craft at Baruch College in New York City and the Fashion Institute of New York, where she developed a keen eye for composition and detail. Her work was further influenced by the Impressionist painters of Europe, whose unique way of interpreting light, color, and movement sparked her own desire to capture the world in similarly evocative ways. In pursuit of this vision, she traveled to France, where she immersed herself in the works of the masters, further deepening her connection to the Impressionist movement.
Having made over 15 trips to Europe, Mary Ann has captured artscapes across Italy, France, Spain, England, and the Netherlands, blending her personal artistic expression with the vibrant landscapes she encounters. Her photographs are not merely images; they are vibrant, dynamic impressions of the world around us, created with a sense of awe and reverence for the natural beauty that surrounds us.
“Impressions”, a free exhibit, will run from January 6 to February 14, 2025, in the second-floor art gallery at the Spanish River Library, 1501 NW Spanish River Blvd, Boca Raton, FL 33431.
