About Mary
I create artworks that help people explore and understand the environments and communities where they live. My work ranges from large-scale, permanent artworks to temporary interactive installations. My projects include art incorporated into urban and rural walking and biking trails, public transit stations, college campuses, and neighborhood parks.
My private studio work uses cloisonné, an ancient craft using melted glass and silver wire, to create sculptural objects that exist in a world somewhere between toys, jewelry, and sacred objects.
I currently live and work in Phoenix, Arizona.
