Born Mary Pityn in Eatonia, Saskatchewan. Mary moved at an early age to Boyne Lake, Alberta. Growing up on a farm and being close to nature still reflect the subjects she chooses for her paintings today.

In school she showed a natural talent and ability in art and was encouraged by he teachers to draw and paint in watercolors.
     
               
   

Mary moved to Edmonton in 1951, where she continued to pursue her interest in art. A basic watercolor course with Sr. S Glyde and two years of oil painting courses through "Continuing Education" with Mr, John Hannley began her serious interest in Art.
Her favored medium is oil, but Mary also loves the challenge of acrylics, oil pastels and watercolors. Her realistic paintings of Alberta scenery, animals, wildlife, and flowers captivate the drama in her paintings.
"Painting and sketching has always been my favorite hobby. It gives me great pleasure to create something, and to express myself. I love the challenge of working with vivid colors in any medium. I have done a lot of work in oil pastels recently and find it very rewarding as a medium".
