Mary Olney, aka Mama-Girl, gives us a group of flowers in a colorful vase. The vase on this piece is has a swirl of color and the flowers are all of the same make, they resemble daisies. Flowers and birds are part of her earlier work which she started showing around 1997. This sweet piece is signed and ready for hanging. The colors are bright and vivid on this piece of art as most of her work is. A little bit about the artist: \"Mama-Girl is one of the Eastern Shore’s most famous folk artists. And she’s getting quite a name for herself in collector’s circles for her visionary work. People who make the long drive down the Eastern Shore of Virginia’s Route 13, then out through the rural countryside are in for a rare treat. In her small studio, just outside Painter, she’s surrounded by her unique art visions. Brightly painted, deceptively simple shapes are all around her, created in her unique style of papier-mâché. A deeply spiritual woman who feels her work is guided by God, she credits her faith for her creativity. “Whenever the spirit get to me, I go to work and do it,” she says. Like other artists, traditionally trained or folk, Momma-Girl feels her art is guided by a divine presence for whom she is a conduit. She shares a belief held by many creative people that their talent is a gift from God, to be used at His pleasure and direction. The line between the creative and the mystic is very thin indeed. Many of her works reflect religious themes, such as the nativity’s she makes, which she calls her “activity scenes”. Several years ago, a woman she had never met before appeared on her doorstep, telling Momma-Girl she was there to ordain the artist. So now, she’s Reverend Onley, who preaches at Bethel Baptist Church in Franktown. When she had a disagreement with a male pastor, and he reproved her for being an uppity woman, “I told him I wasn’t saying it, Spirit was!” She chuckles.\"In 1997, she started showing at in Cape Charles. “Spirit told me to take only birds to that show. And I sold them out.” For an upcoming show, Spirit has guided her to show only cats. Spirit is wise. Cat people will buy anything that has a feline theme. “And I started to make what spirit told me to make. I was starting good just before my second husband died,” she recalls. “I got so mad at that doctor. He told me because of my allergies I couldn’t do anything. I said ‘I’m going to make a liar out of you’.” And so she did. The hospital where that doctor is on staff recently commissioned her to paint a set of child’s table and chairs for their pediatric ward. “I’m not only dealing with this art, I’m dealing with people’s lives. This artwork- - - God gave it to me to make people happy.” Credit to Helen Chappell who wrote an article that was published in the Tidewater Times for which all of the information came from. This is a great bargain and will be a really nice gift for that special someone on your list. This painting measures 3.5\" by 8.0\".
