About Mary

I became an active participant in the Arts when I was a child.  My mother insisted that my sisters and I appreciate artistic culture in our young lives.  So, at the age of 8, I began taking piano lessons, where I studied the classics, and later in my teens Rock and Roll.

I began studying flat and 3D art when I was in Junior High and High School in Napa, California in the mid-1960’s.  In my senior year, my high school art teacher submitted my name to U. C. Berkeley in California for an art scholarship. Berkeley sent me the scholarship offer, however, I was unable to take advantage of it and went to work.
