Mary began painting after her first magical trip to Algonquin Park more than a half century ago. Her enduring enthusiasm for Canada’s land continues to flourish, especially when she paints at her woodland studio in the Algonquin Highlands. Honouring the intrinsic balance and beauty of the natural world is a consistent theme in her work. The luminous colours in her paintings conjure connections to the dynamic energy of land, sea and sky. Her vibrant artworks grace public and private collections around the world, winning awards such as the International White Raven Award and the National Outdoor Book Award.

Mary has taught art workshops across Canada and is a longstanding Haliburton School of Art and Design faculty member. The YMCA of Western Ontario has recognized Mary as a ‘Woman of Excellence in Arts, Culture & Education’ for her community contributions as artist.
