I'm a professional artist specializing in fine art paintings, pet portraits and illustration. I have a fine arts degree with a major in graphic design. I've had over thirty-five years experience in creating custom artwork and design. I create artwork using a wide range of media: traditional watercolor, acrylic, oils, and pen and ink as well as modern hand-painted digital paintings on canvas and archival paper. I use only the highest quality archival materials in creating my work.
Once you choose the subject of your custom painting, we'll work together to make it a reality. Will it be a portrait of your child, a favorite pet or animal, a house portrait or a treasured family memory? I'll closely involve you in the creative process throughout the various stages of painting. With your suggestions and input, every detail will be brought to perfection. It's great fun for you to see your painting develop, and working together in this way we'll create the exact "masterpiece" YOU have in mind!
Painting is my passion; I'm committed to creating the most heartwarming and elegant paintings that I possibly can for my customers, who attest to my patience, close attention to perfection and ability to please!

For Jonathan's PaintingEverything about this project was great. The artist was a pleasure to work with and the finished product was amazing. My daddy loved the canvas and it now proudly hangs in his office. Thanks so much!
Todd Gaborow
For Todd's PaintingI was very pleased on how the piece came out, truly great! Mary was great to work with and open to hearing any and all of my ideas and inputs, of which there were many, but she never hesitated and was more than willing to accommodate anything I might've thrown her way. No complaints, only positives would work with again and recommend to anyone!

For Goopy and Gilbert "Save the Date"We got a gorgeous painting. Mary Jill took our paragraph log request and turned it into a work of art. Our save the dates are special because of her. I would recommend her work to anyone looking for an irreverent animal portrait. And who doesn't want one of those?
