Mary Louise Long, a painter and printmaker, lives in Stamford, Connecticut.  She has exhibited her work at galleries and museums in the United States. A recipient of a Painting Fellowship from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, Ms. Long was a Lecturer in Art at Bloomfield College and an instructor in printmaking and painting at the Montclair Art Museum.  She is a member of Art/Place Gallery, the Center for Contemporary Printmaking, and the College Art Association, the New Canaan Society for Art, and the Stonington Printmakers.  Her biography is listed in the Who’s Who of American Women and Who’s Who in America 2016.

Describing her work, Ms. Long states “My abstract paintings and monotypes focus on brilliant colors and powerful forms.  As the colors play against one another the created shapes seem to develop a life of their own.  My interest in classical mythology, poetry, and anthropology contributes to the imagery of the work.  I search for that subjective shape that stirs the viewer to bouts of recognition and denial.  The work is dependent on process and painterly markings which create that visual awareness of content…a merge of the subjective and objective intellect.”
