Mary is a multi-media contemporary artist based both in New York City and Valencia, Spain. Perpetually exploring multiple, and distinct lines of creative inquiry, Mary makes comix and narrative drawings characterized by philosophical queries concerning mortality and human relationships. Her most recent work includes the comics “Astrid’s Body” and “the Coin Flip”, both published by WiP Comics, London and the large-scale art installation “Deti II”, produced as part of an artist residency at Art Aia - Creatives In Residence, Italy.

Human rights work is another life-long area of dedication for Mary. She recently earned a master’s in international migration with a political science thesis on immigrant sanctuary policy in New York City from Malmö University, Sweden. Working with a multinational organization as a delegate of the US Department of State, Mary wins appointments to observe elections abroad for the international community. She has observed elections mostly in Ukraine but also in Serbia, the Republic of Georgia and, most recently, Kazakhstan. Mary also occasionally teaches art and architecture, focusing primarily on underprivileged youth. Mary has taught stufio courses in Guatemala, New York City and most recently in Latvia at Common Ground — a community center for people displaced by Russia’s war on Ukraine.

Mary earned a bachelor of fine art in interdisciplinary visual art at the State University of New York, Purchase College, School of Visual Arts. She did her senior thesis project in woodcut prints under the advisement of renowned, Uruguayan woodcut artist, Antonio Frasconi. Mary was awarded status as a Printmakers’ Associateship at the Ink Shop & Olive Branch Press in Ithaca, NY, USA, and she's exhibited at the National Arts Club with the the New York Society of Etchers. Mary’s art piece, “Deti II”, (installation and video) was the first of an international trend of deti-art installations done by others in support of the victims of the Russian bombing of the theater at Mariupol, Ukraine, including deti-installations at the National Theater of Czechia as well as the National Theater of Poland. Mary has been a member of the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop of the Elizabeth Foundation of the Arts in New York since 2010, and a member of the artist collective WiP Comics, London since 2021.
