Mae Stoll credits her late-in-life “art awakening” to her move to Virginia in 2019 and in four short years has produced an impressive body of work in acrylic and pastel. Mae is drawn mostly to semi-impressionistic landscapes but is often lured by other subject matter and styles. Her shows more often resemble those featuring multiple artists rather than solo exhibits, and they delight visitors with variety, vibrancy, and a range of technical skills not typical of a self-taught painter. Of her newfound identity as a full-time working artist, she says, “sometimes things just flow, and life is good. At other times, they don't and the work is exhausting. But somehow, it always feels like it's what I should, and want most of all, to be doing.”

"The Built Environment"—a vivid exploration of how emotions distort our perception of the world around us. Through bold, large-scale acrylic paintings, this exhibition transforms familiar structures into surreal, feverish landscapes. Towers loom impossibly tall, bridges fold into themselves, and time twists within distorted clock towers. Using unnatural color schemes and chaotic compositions, "The Built Environment" captures the raw intensity of human emotion, offering a high-energy, evocative experience that blurs reality and feeling.
