Meet Mary Ellen…

Mary Ellen is a contemporary mixed-media artist whose work is rooted in intuition, movement, and an enduring connection to the natural world. Drawn to the beauty found in organic forms, shifting landscapes, and the quiet details of everyday life, she creates layered works that invite both reflection and emotional connection.

Her process is instinctive and exploratory, allowing each piece to evolve through texture, color, and mark-making. Working across a variety of mediums and techniques, Mary Ellen embraces the unexpected-often allowing the materials themselves to guide the direction of a painting. The result is work that feels at once sophisticated and deeply personal, balancing spontaneity with intention.

Mary Ellen divides her time between Texas, Florida, and Colorado, maintaining studios in all three places. From expansive mountain landscapes to coastal light and the natural beauty of Texas, each environment offers its own visual language and provides an ever-changing source of inspiration—often quite literally from her own backyard.

Beyond the studio, Mary Ellen shares a full and lively life with her husband and their five children. She happily spoils their two pups and channels her creative eye into another longtime passion: remodeling and interior design projects.

Whether painting, designing a space, or simply observing the world around her, Mary Ellen is continually drawn to beauty, transformation, and the possibility of creating something meaningful.

Life challenges us. Art restores us.
