Marianne Hornbuckle Santa Fe, NM Artist Monotype Print Desert Landscape Signed

Description: Fine, original monotype print by listed New Mexico artist Marianne Hornbuckle (b. 1942). Done in an abstract/modern style, it depicts a desert landscape (to my eye) in harmonious shades of brown and slate. It is signed "Hornbuckle" in pencil in the lower right margin. The Roman Numeral "II" is in pencil in the lower left margin. The piece is not titled or dated, but this would likely have been done in the 1980's after the artist moved to New Mexico and began to add monotypes and abstraction to her artistic oeuvre. The monotype is done on heavy white paper and measures 24" x 32". Condition: The artwork is not matted or framed, but is otherwise in very good condition with no holes, stains, creases or tears. It will be gently rolled and mailed in a round or triangular tube. Artist Biography: A colored drawing of a postman beside a mailbox set 2nd-grader Marianne Cooper on a life-long art path. Art classes replaced dance classes, and with painting and drawing her strong suits, she moved confidently forward to become an “artist.” When the pragmatism of her 1950s upbringing intervened, she “went straight” as a young adult, choosing teaching English, raising children, and living a conventional life in suburban Houston. The art drive was strong though… in her early thirties, stifled and frustrated, she picked up a watercolor brush… soon the dream returned. Sales of watercolors offered needed encouragement. Within a few years, she was interpreting the Southwest landscape in large semi-abstract watercolors, represented in galleries regionally and on the East Coast, winning AWS awards, published by the New York Graphic Society, and working as a full-time professional artist. Starting a new life near Santa Fe in her early forties with artist William Preston, she continued to show widely, and began to explore her artistic horizons – abstract, then more traditional landscapes, in oils, and then acrylics, monotypes throughout, tinwork shrines, flower portraits, even Painted Ponies, and always, drawing from life weekly. Through her fifties and sixties, yoga practice and study of Vedanta and other Eastern philosophies ultimately led to her current abstract acrylic paintings. Ten years ago, her first love, drawing the figure, emerged as figurative sculpture. She has now completed 17 pieces. Marianne also created a gorgeous piece for the Trail of Painted Ponies series titled Night Flower.
