Mary Ward

I will be out of town from July 11th to 20th. The gallery will not be open but the website will be working away as usual. Orders will be shipped after July 20th. I will be checking email mesages and should be able to repy to inquiries.

Indigo Arts has moved upstairs to a space on the fourth floor of the Crane Building. I am still arranging things up here but I am open on a "by appointment or by chance" basis. I am usually in the building from Wednesday through Saturday from 12 to 6, but it is definitely best to phone or email first. Meanwhile, the Indigo Arts online gallery is operating as usual.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions in the mean time.

About the Artist

Little Me in Bed

Mary Ward was born in Philadelphia in 1911. She was one of the first individuals to respond to the classes offered at the Southwest Community Enrichment Center in S.W. Philadelphia. Best known for her musical ability "Little Mary" was also quite a painter. Ward's images have an exuberant sense of rhythm and highly keyed color. A mild stroke in the early 1980's confined her to Kingsessing where she was affectionately known as the "heart of the neighborhood". (bio. from Southwest Community Enrichment Center). Her work was exhibited in the show "Saying it Plain" at the Moore College Art Gallery in Philadelphia, from May 25 – August 12, 1994 , as well as exhibits at the Esther M. Klein Gallery in Philadelphia in 2003 and before.
