During her entire lifetime, Mary Wiley has followed an artistic dream.
While teaching in elementary grades, she incorporated the use of art
into the teaching of reading, spelling and language. While living in
Germany, she took every opportunity to visit art museums and study the
artistic offerings of Germany and Switzerland.
After a career in education, Mary began to see her dream become a
reality as she immersed herself into a second career – in art. Her work
is impressionistic in style and she often uses the light in her painting
as the focal point. One can always find an entryway into her paintings
with an interesting sojourn through times, places or events to which the
viewer can relate.
The artist earned a BS degree from the University of North Texas and the
MA degree from the University of the Incarnate Word. She continued her
study of art with workshops and classes with nationally known artists
Milford Zornes, Ted Goerschner, Edgar Whitney and Raymond Kelly. She
admires the work of Charles Sovek and Kathryn Stats and has been
influenced by the study of Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro. Her work
has won numerous awards and can be found in collections throughout the
United States, in England, Japan, Columbia, San Salvador and Spain.
Mary Wiley is best known for her luscious
landscapes, garden scenes and florals. Working impressionistically, she
strives to stir the emotions of the viewer. She has served as an adjunct
teacher of art for Grayson County College and teaches private classes in
oils and pastels in her studio. Her work has been included in several
art books and her biography was included in NOTABLE WOMEN OF TEXAS.
