About

The Piece

Wide, horizontal, and deeply calming, Carmel River stretches across the canvas like a long exhale. Mary worked in warm ambers and sage greens, building the landscape through layered washes and textured mark-making that suggests reeds, water, and open sky. The California coast has been a constant presence throughout her career, and paintings like this one show how deeply that terrain has shaped her vision. It's quiet in the way only wide-open places can be.

About

The Artist

Mary Titus (b. 1950, Florida) is a Carmel-based abstract painter celebrated for her adventurous spirit and singular vision. A lifelong artist, she began selling her work at 13 and, since moving to Carmel in 1983, has become recognized as one of the region’s foremost abstract painters. Her works, layered with collage, rice paper, and textured pastes, embody a vibrant, one-of-a-kind quality where each piece is a unique statement that resists repetition.

Titus’s art has been shaped by her wide international travels throughout her career. She has exhibited on both the East and West Coasts, owned and directed galleries, and her paintings have been widely collected in the United States and abroad. Beyond the studio, she joined scientists aboard the research ship Alpha Helix in Alaska, taught a princess in Saudi Arabia while presenting a solo exhibition in Riyadh, and embarked on eighteen African safaris that deepened her creative vision.

Alongside her practice, Titus has dedicated decades to teaching, sharing her techniques with hundreds of students. Her dual role as artist and educator reflects a lifelong commitment to discovery and experimentation, values that continue to shape her evolving work and affirm her place within Carmel’s enduring bohemian legacy.
