| Your Personal Biography |
Mary Dunn was born in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania in 1952. Mary grew up in Pittsburgh and from as far back as she can remember, she was drawing and oil painting. Her love for art never ceases and through the years, it has become a way of expression and relaxation.
Mostly self taught, Mary Dunn has worked primarily in oils; however, recently she has been working in pastels and watercolors.
While in college, Mary minored in art. Although she would have loved to have been an art major, at that time, she was a single parent and felt it necessary to major in business to take care of her two children. After college, she could not devote time to her art work, but now that her children have grown, there is more time to create and enjoy painting.
Mary works full time as a project manager but her evenings are spent either at the canvas or reading about various artist techniques. “It is a wonderful feeling to be creative in a way that people enjoy and appreciate. When my work is displayed, whether it be a pet portrait, a landscape, or a floral, the satisfaction of being the creator of an image brings such joy to my life.”
As an emerging artist, Mary’s exhibitions have included The Jewish Community Center (Mt. Lebanon), The Galaxie (Chicago, Illinois) and the Iris and Ivory Tea Room (Emerling Plaza). Mary holds a B.S. Degree in Business Management and a Masters Degree in Public Management. She is also a member of the Pittsburgh Pastel Artists League where she is the Secretary and is responsible for the monthly newsletter and recently became a member of South Arts. Mary resides in West Mifflin Pennsylvania with her family. You can find more about Mary and her artwork on her website: http://www.marydunn-artist.com.
history. She continues to create and has explored every medium especially in the last year where she has worked primarily in watercolor and pastel.
As you look at her art work, know that before each piece, she reflects on the gift that God has given her and
is guided by her faith in God and Jesus Christ her savior.
It is Mary's hope that her creativity is a reflection of her faith and that through her, one may learn that
each of us has a gift to give one another whether in art or through friendship.
