Beyond the Fences Mini Dress- Artist Edit
Description
A little art, a little imagination, and a whole lot of personality. The Beyond the Fences Mini Dress brings expressive brushstrokes, layered textures and dreamy shades of blue, sage and earthy neutrals to a beautifully sculpted silhouette. Cut with a clean boat neckline, a fitted sleeveless bodice and a softly flared A-line skirt, the dress balances understated tailoring with the spontaneity of its artwork. A playful yet polished take on the classic mini.
The Artist & The Artwork
Part of our exclusive Artist Edit, this dress features Beyond the Fences, an original artwork by Alabama-based artist Mary Ball. She holds an MFA from the prestigious New York Academy of Art. Her work has been exhibited at Sotheby’s in New York and featured at the New Orleans Museum of Art. A recipient of the Academy Scholar Award, Mary has also been selected for artist residencies in New York and Texas. Her dreamlike paintings, inspired by nature and the subconscious, are celebrated for their expressive compositions, rich textures and imaginative storytelling.Inspired by the natural world and its often-overlooked details, Mary's intuitive, expressive paintings explore the space between reality and imagination. Abstract forms, fluid brushstrokes and richly layered textures come together to create a dreamlike landscape, beautifully translated from canvas to fabric.
Tucked into the layers of abstraction, a playful dog emerges from the painterly landscape, bringing a sense of companionship, curiosity and spontaneity to the artwork. For Mary, dogs embody the uninhibited joy of living in the moment, a spirit that runs through her intuitive, dreamlike compositions.
How to Style
Lean into the art-school aesthetic with leather ballet flats and an oversized tote, or take it somewhere more unexpected with knee-high boots and a sharply tailored blazer. For evening, a pair of metallic slingbacks and a sculptural cuff make a compelling finishing touch.
