Mary Addison Hackett is a Los Angeles based painter. Using a variety of tools and techniques, Hackett creates abstract paintings that explode from the center out to the edges. No two painitngs are the same and it's clear she is continually pushing what the meadium can do. Hackett had her debue show with Kristi Engle Gallery, Los Angeles, CA titled I forget now what all this is about in 2008 which was reviewed my Christopher Knight of the LA Times. She will have her second show with Kristi Engle Gallery in 2010 and I hope to be in town to see it!
