What
began as a part-time fancy has blossomed into a full-time passion
for stained-glass artist, Mary Ingalls. Known for her technical
expertise and creative renderings, Mary's pieces are recognized
from Cape Elizabeth, Maine, where she grew up, to Tybee Island,
Georgia where she now lives and works.
Drawn to the Southeast's changing sea and sky, Mary pushes her
traditional craft to bold new expressions of the fun and fanciful.
"Most recently, I've crafted open works that reflect the
energy and playful curiosity of one of our coast's natural treasures...fish!"
Mary not only creates from her lively imagination, she accepts
work on commission for private and commercial customers designing
and installing pieces that enhance both the home and office.
An
active arts promoter, Mary is involved with arts in her community.
She has held a leadership role with the local arts association
since 1996, sat on the board of The Marine Science Center and
has organized special events for the City of Tybee. This Southeastern
artisan's hand-crafted decorative panels and windows, kiln-fired
glass jewelry, whimsical mixed-media nautical scenes, and brilliant
suncatchers are frequently available in southeast Georgia.
