Mary Rush

Purple Flower is the third work in Mary Rush's "De Fleurs" series, exploring the marriage of floral imagery with Helen Frankenthaler's iconic soak-stain technique. Measuring 59.5 x 35.5 inches, this acrylic on canvas piece captures vibrant bursts of color and dynamic energy born from both intention and spontaneous discovery. What began as a vision of a red flower evolved through intuitive mark-making into something unexpectedly captivating—a testament to how constraint and creative accident create compelling visual narratives.
