Mary is an emerging artist and accomplished quilter. Her work has been exhibited at many local, regional, and national shows from coast to coast, from world Quilt Show in New Hampshire to the Studio Art Quilt Associates Points of View exhibition in Longbeach, CA. 

A graduate of Michigan State University and the University of Arizona, Mary was a professional fundraiser when she began her first quilting project: a round-robin Seminole quilt started by her sister Nanci.  That project is still in pieces, but Mary caught the quilting bug and opened her own business, El Sol Quilting Studio, five years later.  She has quilted over 900 quilts and her clients have won numerous awards at national, regional and local quilt shows.
