Mary
paints in watercolour and acrylic and occasionally ventures into
glass sculpture. Her paintings are usually florals or landscapes,
or abstractions of either theme. Influences in painting were Matisse
and David Milne.
Studies in Art History have been a major interest
with courses ranging from Ancient Art History (Janson) to Contemporary
Art History (Arnason). Studies also include Canadian and Chinese
Art History, as well as ongoing independent study of the current
art world. Mary enjoys music and has studied piano and violin, and
is currently trying to learn the cello and recorder. She also enjoys
reading on a wide variety of subjects.
She works out of her studio in Trail, British
Columbia, and shows her work extensively in the Kootenays. She has
also had exhibitions in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Her work
has been selected for the Grand Forks Art Gallery and the British
Columbia Government collections. Prices for her work range from
$500 - $1500. Mary's next show is this May in Trail, BC.
