Born in New Jersey, Mary grew up in the Philadelphia area and came to Boston to for the Tufts University/School of the Museum of Fine Arts 5-year program 2-degree program, where she earned a BFA with a focus on sculpture through the Museum School and a BA in English from Tufts. After graduation she spent a post-bac year at l'Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in Geneva, Switzerland studying ceramic sculpture, and then returned to the Boston area. For 15 years she lived and had her studio in Somerville, a vibrant urban community with a high concentration of artists and studio space. Since 2001 she has lived and had her studio 30 minutes north of Boston in the coastal town of Beverly, home to Montserrat College of Art. There the ocean, the light, and the rugged landscape of the North Shore and Cape Ann are a constant and deeply affecting presence in her art and life.
