Gallery

Using an artist’s eye, Mary is always on the hunt for those things and places that make her feel good, to love, to smile. Then, turning to the spontaneity and transparency of watercolors, she captures their spirit and essence in painted renderings. Following the philosophy of “paint what you love,” Mary’s gallery tends to be filled with portraits. It is a practice that began with the creation of heirloom portraits of various cats and dogs, and then continued on with a stream of people personalities, ranging from growing grandchildren to favorite uncles. Working from reference photos, along with the client’s insights into the subject’s unique traits, Mary creates a unique and meaningful portrait.

Both painting and love of all that inhabit the world in which we live are passions of Mary’s. Combining these two loves, she offers to paint a keepsake portrait with only the simple request that a donation be made to the charity of your choice.
