Mary loved painting from earlier than childhood. It was the simply activity she remembers enjoying at school. As a twelve year old she visits an uncle in France who was a painter. She instantly knew the artist’s life was the life for her. She went to the Slade in London when she was 17, and contemplated creation a career out of stage design. Instead, when she finally had to return home to Bristol (weeping on the train), she started to teach art.

She became branded for her murals, but it was the privacy of painting only at the easel that really appealed, and this has been her way of working ever since. She paints (and makes collages) only in her cottage.
