Hi, I’m Mary! By day, I’m a secondary History teacher, which keeps me very busy. But when the school bell rings and the marking is done, you’ll find me doing what I love most: painting.
​
Art has been my passion since I was a child. I used to disappear into my room for hours, and honestly, not much has changed since then! Life took me on a detour for about 10 years while I chased after what I thought I was 'supposed' to be doing- school, uni, and work, whilst my art supplies gathered dust. But in 2023, I picked up the paintbrush again, and wow, I am so glad I did!​​​

I had forgotten how much painting fills me with a sense of calm and joy that nothing else can match. I don’t stick to one specific style, I'm all about whatever inspires me in the moment. Whether it’s capturing a landscape from my travels, creating portraits, or experimenting with something new, art is my happy place.
​
I hope my work brings you as much joy as it brings me. Feel free to browse and see if anything speaks to you!

MY VISION
My vision is to bring joy to people's lives through my art, as I balance a busy teaching career. Although time for painting is limited, I truly love art and it is my goal to bring your ideas to life and create pieces that bring you joy. Thanks for understanding and being patient, I’m excited to work together and make something special!
