Mary J. has taught art in Public and Private schools and local art centers. Her talents have been applied to murals, portraits, still life, landscape and photography. Her extensive travels in Europe, Mexico, and the U.S. have led her to her current interest in Plein Air painting.

Artists Statement: “I enjoy working from life. The whole process is energizing. Whether the subject matter is a still life, a live model, or a landscape, all senses are brought into play and I am totally immersed in capturing the timeless and immediate nature of the subject before me.”

In the mid-80’s, she was founder and President of Women In Art, Inc. in the Thornton Park area of Orlando, Fl. She organized and participated in many art exhibits and provided workshop and studio space for artists. Family business and travels out of the country kept her away from painting for several years, but she photographed and sketched in many countries. In ‘97, she began painting en plein air and chasing the blue shadows of Key West, Fl.

She is presently Program Director/PR Dir. for Central Florida Plein Air Artists (CFPAA), and has helped organize many exhibits in the Central Florida and East Coast area. In 2004, she helped produce a calendar for 2005 which included art work by members of CFPAA, which were distributed at Disney World.

Mary J. has recently been invited to display her art in the Florence, Italy Bienniale. Associations: Central Florida Plein Air Artists, Artists League of Orange County, Orlando Museum of Art, Plein Air Florida.
