Mary J. Ballering: A Walk in the Park     

April 1 – 30, 2026                                                                            

 McKinney Art Gallery

The Mckinney Art Gallery is pleased to present A Walk in the Park, a solo exhibition by contemporary artist Mary J. Ballering on view from April 1 through April 30, 2026.

Known for her versatility, Mary works across a broad range of styles, including realism, abstraction, pop art and texture driven sculpture. Her artistic philosophy is rooted in the belief that paint is more than pigment: it is a material with transformative potential. By incorporating dried paint into her process, she creates sculptural elements on canvas that add depth, dimension, and emotional resonance. Her work invites viewers to engage both visually and tactilely, where texture and emotion intersect.

A Walk in the Park showcases Mary’s vibrant use of color and form, offering viewers a sense of movement, joy, and reflective pause.

 Each piece reflects her intention to enrich spaces through expressive composition and layered texture, encouraging curiosity and connection.
