Mary Barnett Exhibit 'From the Heart ... Paintings With Purpose' To Benefit Suicide Prevention

Exhibit Opens Sept. 3 In Boulder At Mary Williams Fine Arts

BOULDER — When Mary Barnett sits down to paint, there is no "game plan."

"I know who I am and I just start working," she said. "I'll decide, 'I'm going to start with these colors, and get them down.' Then I start to see things ... It's sort of like a Rorschach test. I see things and they develop. Those things relate to ideas that are going on my head — places I've been, things I have and have not loved. Then it just evolves.
