Mary James Ketch: Inside the Cloud House
S9 • E1 Jul 5, 2023
Norman, Oklahoma painter Mary James Ketch begins planning her portrait and landscape paintings with a walk in the woods with her dog. The results are dreamy, abstract, filled with negative space -- and they've become hits at regional art fairs. Some don't make it. Some she sets on fire. OETA's Gallery America finds out why she burns some paintings during a visit to Mary's "Cloud House" studio.
