I gather my materials and allow Serendipity and the Muse to play. Each artistic mark is a variance in language. My practice also includes drawing, sewing, acrylic and oil painting. Making art is engrossing and stimulating, adding meaning to the daily business of living.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mara Thompson lives and works in Southern California. She exhibits her mixed media works in group shows and is a member of Women Painters West and Collage Artists of America. Through social media and the US Postal Service she collaborates on digital art projects and participates in mail art exhibitions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ARTIST CONTACT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"mailto:mythmara108@verizon.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click to email<\/a>]<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mythmara.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.mythmara.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>IMAGES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-365\" title=\"Swinging by Mara Thompson (6.5&quot;x4.75&quot;; paper and paint; 2012)\" src=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Swinging-600-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"433\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Swinging-600-web.jpg 433w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Swinging-600-web-216x300.jpg 216w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Swinging-600-web-210x290.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 433px) 100vw, 433px\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Swinging<\/em><br \/>\n6.5&#8243;x4.75; paper and paint; 2012<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-364\" title=\"Love Fish by Mara Thompson (6.5&quot;x4.75&quot;; paper and paint; 2012)\" src=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Love-Fish-600-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"433\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Love-Fish-600-web.jpg 433w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Love-Fish-600-web-216x300.jpg 216w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Love-Fish-600-web-210x290.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 433px) 100vw, 433px\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Love Fish<\/em><br \/>\n6.5&#8243;x4.75; paper and paint; 2012<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santa Monica, California<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":365,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[8],"tags":[62],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Swinging-600-web.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2BNTD-5Q","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/362"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=362"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/362\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/365"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=362"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=362"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=362"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
