Press Release

LeMieux Galleries is pleased to present Mary Lee Eggart, Teach Us to Pray, opening on October 4th, 2025, with an encore reception on November 1, 2025. The exhibition is on view through November 22nd, 2025. LeMieux Galleries is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00AM to 5:00PM.

Teach Us to Pray is the latest work by  Mary Lee Eggart, LeMieux Galleries longest represented artist (forty years). In this deeply contemplative body of work, Eggart meditates on the beauty of nature as God’s creation. The Lord’s Prayer, often considered to be a summation of Christ’s gospel message, provides the spiritual and conceptual framework for Teach Us to Pray. Inspired by Christian iconography and moments of personal reflection, Eggart’s drawings reveal insights into faith, grace, and the relationship between nature and heavenly presence. Together, these works invite viewers into a sacred dialogue between the divine and the natural world.

 

Mary Lee Eggart is a Southern Louisiana-based artist who earned her BFA in printmaking from St. Joseph’s Academy and her MFA in printmaking from Louisiana State University. Her body of work focuses on wildlife and other natural forms, inspired by her childhood interests in botany and zoology, as well as her strong Catholic faith. Following the tradition of late-medieval artists, Eggart’s carefully observed depictions of nature also convey a spiritual message.
