Mary & her work                

I like to create art everywhere I go, from my local area to further afield, so my art is a bit like a travel diary.  The interest in architecture comes from my sketching trips to towns and cities whilst I was doing an art degree in in the beautiful setting of Yorkshire Sculpture Park. 

As part of my study I did six months in Australia (Newcastle, near Sydney).   Seeing the colourful coastal cities gave me a love of colourful architecture that you can still see in my work today.  Inspired by travel and an interest in interior design. I love to experiment with colour palettes.  

I later trained to teach people with visual impairments to travel.  By coincidence the theme of orientation in cities is closely tied to the art I was already making.  I investigate how we explore the urban environment, slowly building a mental map with our personal landmarks.

​​Please take a few moments to explore my world of colour by visiting my galleries.

With a background in community work I also provide training for groups.
