Mary L. Bullock

A painter of plants interacting with light, Mary moved to Florida in 1991 where she was a Cable TV art talk show host and contributing writer to a monthly magazine. In 1995 she first started painting tropical plants.

Bullock says- "I paint light interacting with plants. These are fragile images that exist for fleeting moments, like the shadow of a leaf upon a leaf, yet with all of light's power to make us feel as well as see."

In April 2001 Mary returned to St. George, to paint full time. She has exhibited widely nationally and internationally, as well as in many Staten Island venues. She was a 2003 COAHSI JuneFest grantee, a 2008 double COAHSI grantee. Ninety percent of her paintings done since 2000 are in private collections.

Born in Detroit, MI, she was raised in the NYC area and earned a BFA from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY, 1968, with graduate study at SUNY New Paltz 1970-71. From 1972-91 Mary worked in advertising and publishing while living in Chelsea, St. George, the Upper West Side of Manhattan and Litchfield, CT.

Anne C. Ferguson

Photographer of everything from flowers to national and local rock bands. "As a colorist, my photographic art is high color and intentionally manipulated should the image require it. Of course, there are always images that look great just as they are without any further changes needed. I love photography. It has given me a new life and future."

A photographer for about seven years with an oil/acrylic painting background and degrees in Art & Art History, she has exhibited in numerous galleries and at Art Fairs in and around New York City. Presently a Special Projects and Graphics Manager, also a member of the Creative Photographer's Guild on Staten Island, and a former member of BWAC (Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition).
