Using high quality acrylic paints and sometimes bits of paper, fabric or wallpaper, Mayme transforms a canvas, length of corrugated cardboard or sheet of craft paper into a veritable Candy Land of visual goodness. In her words: "I usually begin with a palette in mind... then concentrate on form, mood, emotion and color. I want my work to be hopeful and in the end to simply make people feel happy." Mayme paints from the heart - finding inspiration in everyday objects, nature and from such artists and writers as Richard Diebenkorn, Mark Rothko, Pablo Picasso, Wayne Thiebaud, Edward Hopper, Mary Oliver, Emily Dickinson, Charles Bukowski, Rumi, Naomi Shihab Nye and e.e. cummings among many others.
