About Mallory Wiedemann
Mallory Wiedemann is a self-taught artist whose work is driven by curiosity, intuition, and a love of discovery. Originally from Shreveport, Louisiana, she studied Geological Engineering at the University of Mississippi and spent more than a decade in the oil and gas industry before fully embracing her artistic calling. Today, she works primarily in acrylics while also exploring mixed media, incorporating collage, antique glassware, vintage hardware, and unexpected finds from flea markets and antique shops into her layered compositions.
Her process begins with spontaneous marks and blocks of color that evolve into more deliberate layers. Found objects, playful textures, and bursts of color often become part of the story, reflecting her fascination with the intersection of chaos and control. By allowing the initial layers to remain visible, Wiedemann creates work that feels alive — inviting viewers to notice both the intentional and the unexpected within each piece.
Now based in New Canaan, Connecticut, where she lives with her husband, Neth, and their two sons, James and Freddy, Wiedemann continues to build a practice that merges her analytical background with her creative instincts. Through her work, she strives to create pieces that are at once structured and free, playful and precise, familiar and entirely new.
Artist's Statement:
"My work is rooted in curiosity and a deep love of exploration. I approach each piece as both an experiment and an invitation — layering paint, collage, and found materials into compositions that balance structure with spontaneity. What begins with loose, intuitive marks often evolves into something more deliberate, where chance and intention meet.
I’m drawn to the tension between chaos and control, the playful and the precise. Unexpected moments — a swipe of bold color, a scrap of wallpaper, a fragment of rhinestone or glass — become part of the story layered into the work. These elements not only reflect my fascination with materiality, but also with how memory, music, and everyday life filter into the creative process.
My art is less about achieving perfection and more about discovery. I embrace the freedom to take risks, to allow mistakes to shape the outcome, and to let hidden layers remain visible as reminders of where the piece has been. Through this ongoing process, I aim to create work that feels alive — inviting viewers to slow down, notice details, and see the familiar transformed into something new."
