“What I explore in paint is our connection to each other and the world.”  Mary’s work is a wonderland of storytelling.  Painting in Northern New Mexico, Mary creates imagery that is rich in culture and history.  She depicts the land, the sky, and all its inhabitants, reading like ancient scrolls.

Her work is a reminder that we humans have always communicated with pictures and characters.  From the earliest times, we made images that tell stories.  We told them on the walls of caves.  Egyptians told them in cuneiform on clay.  Mary paints her stories on canvas.
