about

“Nature, especially the wilderness, is deeply inspiring, and I am intrigued by her mysteries...my work reflects this world and my place in it.”
Contemporary landscape oil painter Mary Jo Van Dell was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and began painting at a young age. Entirely self-taught, she has since built a full-time career in the arts, dedicating herself to capturing the essence of the natural world.
Van Dell draws inspiration from the woods, lakes, prairies, coasts, and remote wilderness areas of the United States and Canada. Her work is distinguished by a minimalist technique, a limited color palette, and an often somber, contemplative atmosphere. With a straightforward approach and an ability to evoke deep emotion, her paintings resonate powerfully with audiences.
Her evocative style has earned her a loyal following of collectors and admirers, both nationally and internationally. Van Dell’s work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions across the country.
