Mary painted in watercolour and acrylic and occasionally ventured 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 were 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 a life-long independent study of the current art world. Mary enjoyed music and studied piano and violin, and recently had tried her hand at the cello and recorder. She also enjoyed reading on a wide variety of subjects.
She worked out of her studio in Trail, British Columbia, and showed her work extensively in the Kootenays. She also had exhibitions in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Her work was selected for the Grand Forks Art Gallery and the British Columbia Government collections. Prices for her work range from $500 - $1500.
