Mary began painting in 1995. By 1996, she had amassed an extensive collection of her own paintings. One day, she said, “Lord, why am I out here doing all this?” And in her spirit, the Lord spoke, saying, “You are on a mission to get a great message out into the houses and hearts.” Mary paints messages to help glorify women and wants men to search their hearts, learn to respect women, and treat them with proper respect.		8
Her work has been featured in the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore and has been featured on the cover of Raw Vision, the international magazine of contemporary folk art. It is also included in museums and collections across the country. In 2005, she was included in the "On Their Own - Selected Self-taught Artists" exhibit at the Smithsonian Anacostia Museum.		8
Her grandmother was the person who raised her with such tenderness and care. Mary sat next to her grandmother and watched her sew and quilt from the time she was a little girl. This quilt is to honor her.		8
