An Albertan artist, born in Edmonton and raised in Lloydminster—an oil town on the Saskatchewan–Alberta border—Mary has always felt deeply connected to the natural world. She remembers playing in the woods as a child, collecting objects to bring home and paint. Animals, birds, and found objects all became subjects of her early work, which she combined into one-of-a-kind pieces of art.

After moving to Calgary and later Cochrane, Mary spent 20 years working in the dental field while continuing to take art classes. Eventually, she found herself drawn back to her childhood passion and is now focused on her art full time.

Mary’s current work explores the collision between nature and humanity, finding profound beauty in that intersection.

Nature Always Wins.
