Mary Esch

Project Information | About the Artist | Online Gallery

Mary Esch is a two-time winner of the Minnesota State Arts Board Fellowship, a Jerome Fellow, and a Bush Fellow. She is known for her incisive drawing style, large-scale limited edition wallpaper installations, and portraiture. Ms. Esch cut her teeth here in the Twin Cities at Speedboat Gallery and Gallery Rebollosso in the early 90’s, had a blast showing at the Walker Art Center and New York City in the late 90’s, and more recently she enjoyed the use of one her paintings as an experimental jumping off point for three plays that premiered in 2001 in New York City. That was a perfect flip of experience because she often uses liturature as inspiration for her own work and has done so again in the suite of prints created at Highpoint.
