Welcome to Grapevine Studio!
Welcome to Grapevine Studio. I’m Mary Maupin, and Grapevine is the name of the community where I live, in the mountains of Madison County, N.C. Grapevine Studio is where I produce the small (9” x 11”) mixed-media pieces you can see posted below. I attach a print of one of my paintings or of a photo I’ve taken to the back of a 1½”deep box, and then embellish it with bits of fabric, colored pen drawing, threads, and sometimes small pieces of glass. The frame is fabric applied to the edges of the box. These pieces are not meant to be used as boxes but rather as decorative pieces to be hung on a wall. Scroll down to see images of my work.
