Mary lives a life of quiet seclusion in beautiful Jacksonport, Wisconsin, with her husband. She grew up in Indiana and studied scenic painting at Indiana University and eventually art and art education at University Wisconsin, Green Bay.  

Quote from Artist: "I paint because painting is my job and I love my job. My job is filled with all kinds of joy- the joy of paint and colors, the joy of frustration, and the joy of problem-solving. My work is a celebration of Door County and it's endless beauty."
