Inspired by organic forms and patterns, Engron’s work embodies architectural elements, human figures, and abstract motifs. Engron is quoted as saying: "I paint the way I feel. When my life is in order and everything is running smoothly, I paint the geometric. When I am down, I paint lines. When I feel love, I paint flowers. When I am feeling easy, I paint flowing paintings."
Mae Alice Engron was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana. After injuries working as a civil servant, she attended Herron School and received a fine arts degree at the age of 42. Her work can be found in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Indiana State Museum, as well as PepsiCo and in private collections throughout the US and Germany. See less
