Mary’s current series focuses upon Silver Horses in various costumes, galloping under stars, through snow-
filled forests, and along the ocean shore. She is also known for her paintings of more traditional equine
activities, such as ploughing, sugaring, and fox hunting. Having spent nearly thirty years breeding sheep,
and believing in the old dictum, “Paint what you know, paint what you love,” Mary frequently uses
members of her flock to explore light and color, and each spring, she awaits the birth of her new
“models,” so that she can begin work on a fresh series of “ baby lamb “ paintings. These special
collectors’ item paintings have become a hallmark of her work.
Mary’s art has been featured on Rural Heritage TV, and can be found in many collections, both public and
private, across North America. She has won numerous awards, exhibits both locally and nationally, and is
represented by, among others, the Sharon Art Gallery in Peterborough, NH, where she is also a
faculty member.
