My name is Mary...
Richmond, Virginia is where my alma mater, Virginia Commonwealth University is located and also where I received my B.F.A. in Fashion Illustration in 1985. I had the great honor of studying under the master painter Luigi Wanvestraut and received my Italian accreditation from the Van Art Studio while living in Italy for four years. I have also studied under world renowned artists Daniel Green, Chris Saper and most recently Raymond Everett Kinstler at the Arts Student League in Manhattan.
I enjoy sharing my talents and passion for art with others and feel that I have been very blessed.
My life's dream is to bring the beauty and the joy of art back into our lives and to hold true the fundamental studies that that make us successful artists.
