Mary creates
spontaneous abstracts and representational images from a
colourful palette of paper fragments. She hand-selects only
the finest papers for her work. No paint is used in her art.
Her images evolve with each layer of paper on paper, piece
by piece, into unique, textural works of art. The intuitive
style surfaces from the memories of her travels and is an
expression of her lifelong love of colour, music and nature.
Mary graduated in Fine Arts from the Ontario College of Art
and Design. In her final year, she was selected for a year
of advanced studies in Florence, Italy. Florentine light and
colour captured and inspired her and she continued to live
and work there for many years.
Combining her Florentine influences with her sense of the
remarkable qualities of paper, Mary established her
distinctive style of collage. Her specialty paper collages
have attracted collectors and buyers in Canada, the United
States, Europe and Asia. |
