Welcome!

Napa artist Mary Kercher, a California native, grew up in Italy where as a young woman she explored the streets of Rome. The masters and classical figures she stumbled upon in her youth are evident in her paintings, sculptures, and mixed media art to this day. “As I work there are sound tracks in my head,” Mary says. “I am able to move through these feelings with grace and hindsight. As I tune into my life the stories I see are never ending.”
