With my move to Lyme Regis in 2007, I have been inspired by the wonderful Dorset scenery and I have had more time to join local art groups, workshops and classes.
These have motivated me to experiment with various different media, including watercolour, oil pastels, soft pastels, acrylic, gouache, oils and collage in painting Lyme Regis and the Dorset landscape.
“I love Art Deco and my work has a definite graphic feel to it. I am drawn to graphic shapes and colours in the local scenery and seem to have discovered my own distinctive style, whether I am using soft pastels, collage, acrylic ink or oil, which I am really enjoying.”

Mary is intensely interested in texture and this tends to dominate her more recent work. Her colour palette is often limited, instead using texture as the emphasis. Her more recent work has seen a movement towards collage and collagraphs, the latter being prints made from a collaged plate.
