In her work Mary thinks about the meaning of life, captures ideas in stone and creates artifacts from dreams, elements of landscapes from the subconscious.
“My work celebrates the beauty of nature’s intricacies, translating organic forms into delicate, lasting ceramics. Each piece whispers stories of growth, harmony, and the gentle passage of time – inviting viewers to slow down, appreciate elegance, and connect with the natural world.”

В своих работах Мэри задумывается о смысле жизни, фиксирует идеи в камне и создает артефакты из снов, элементы ландшафтов из подсознания.
«Моя работа прославляет красоту природных хитросплетений, переводя органические формы в изящную, долговечную керамику. Каждое изделие нашептывает истории о росте, гармонии и плавном течении времени — приглашая зрителей замедлиться, оценить элегантность и соединиться с природным миром».
