About Mary

Since 1970

I started painting around 1970, when I was a young mom raising my children at home. What began as a relaxing hobby eventually became something of a profession. Over the years, I have had dozens of private showings and receptions across Arkansas and beyond. My artwork has been auctioned for charity, displayed in private businesses and public libraries, and sold to collectors — including one person who bought 19 paintings at once!

Then, for several years, certain family duties took me away from my paints and brushes. But I always desired to return to them. Now, for the first time in my life, I find myself free to paint as much as I want! I believe God gave me this desire to create as a way to honor Him, so I do my best to reflect the glory of His creation with every brush stroke. I hope that you will feel equally inspired.
