About the Artist:
Mary began her journey as a Canadian artist when she landed in Toronto from her hometown in Ceprano, Italy at age six. Her love for mixed media arts surfaced from a young age where she nurtured and developed her artistic expression through classes and private lessons. Often the work of Mary’s hands comes from an outpouring of her heart onto canvas. Mary seeks to tell a story with her pieces, offering glimpses of peace, serenity, relaxation, inspiration, and deeper meaning. With the use of different mediums such as acrylic, watercolour, charcoal, ink, oil pastels along with a touch of expression and imagination, her paintings are created.
Most of Mary’s pieces are based on her experience of the locations she has traveled to, allowing viewers to immerse themselves into the work of art rather than simply observing. Her work enables people to discover destinations through art, as it serves as a portal for reimagining places, cultures, and journeys. She states: “As we explore a foreign city or immerse ourselves in the culture of a different country, we’ll taste new foods, try new experiences, and indulge in a bit of decadence.”
