Artist Mary Pettis ~ Wildlife, Deer ~ Quiet Evening

Mary Pettis was born and raised in the upper Midwest, where she grew to love nature, and discovered she could share her feelings through her art.

"I am certain that the strongest influence on my work has been my good fortune to be born a farmer's daughter. I grew up touched by the seasons, haying, hunting, trapping and studying reflections from the boat when the fish weren't biting. As an artist, I seek to share the stories, moments and moods of nature which move me."

For Mary, painting is much like poetry; some pictures require long highly detailed formal verse, and others are a simple statement with more emphasis on breadth and a single impression. In either case, she is a compelling storyteller, whether she is recording a specific scene, or simply using the subject to express and evoke poetic moods or feelings.

She says "After painting for 25 years, I feel I'm just beginning to speak the language. With the help of the Good Lord, I can now begin to focus on what it is I want to say."

Mary Pettis' formal art training includes study at Mankato State University, BFA from the College of S. Benedict, St. Joseph, MN, research abroad and a full time three-year apprenticeship in a classical atelier.

Mary's work is in private and corporate collections around the globe, including the Minnesota state capitol, Senate offices in Washington D.C. and the permanent collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Fine Arts.
