Waves of raw materials create an intense and intimate reflection of the artist - and of the viewer. Mary Sobrina Kuder exposes her life experiences in her art that surges through the viewer who becomes enveloped in the work, bringing along their own situation and understanding. Kuder's art is a swell of emotion that washes over the viewer leaving a chill, a tingle, or may even splash you awake with crisp clarity.

"My intention as an artist is to create a visual channel to bridge the illusion of seperation we all experience", says Kuder. "In a material world creating more and more isolation day by day, each of my works challenges the viewer to explore their separateness as a visceral level... and then lures them to investigate their own human life and emotional experience"
"I present my personal ongoing journey through direct and abstract form. A path through fear, faith, control, death, obsession, passion, pride and loss. A journey I hope invites an intimate response that closes the distance of separation."

Northwest Arts magazine said, “She communicates motion and emotion through barely suggested forms. With sure line and impeccable choice, she captures the essence of the moment… Subtle, unpretentious…her subjects reveal themselves in the act of becoming, being and disintegrating, but never losing their identities.” Kuder’s art study has included training at the Instituto Allende in Mexico, San Francisco Art Institute, as well as teaching and training at Laguna Beach School of Art. Her work has been shown in individual and collective exhibitions, including San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Rental Gallery; MOCA, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Elaine Sternberg Gallery, Highland Park, Illinois; Griffin-Ross Gallery, Santa Barbara, California; and the M.H. DeYoung Museum, San Francisco, California.
