My Journey
It’s on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way.
So we must dig and delve unceasingly.

About the Artist - Mary Dunn
Mary Dunn was born and raised in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. 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 took various art courses as an elective. 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.
Currently, Mary works full time as a project manager; however, 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), Royal Tribe “Evolution Fashion and Art Show” and the Iris and Ivory Tea Room (Emerling Plaza). In 2010, Mary will be exhibiting some of her paintings at BoxHeart Gallery in Bloomfield and Fein Art Gallery in Pittsburgh.
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
President. She is also responsible for the monthly newsletter.
Mary resides in West Mifflin Pennsylvania with her family.
As you look at her work, know that before each piece, Mary reflects on
the gift God has bestowed upon her, and she is guided by her faith in
God and Jesus Christ her savior.
It is Mary’s hope that through her creativity, one may learn that each
person has a gift to give joy to others whether it is through
an artistic expression or friendship.
