Mary Faust Carradine

FEATURED ARTIST NOVEMBER 2019

Mary has been studying and creating art since childhood. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Clothing, Textiles and Design, with a concentration in Art, at
the University of Wisconsin-Stout, Menomonie, Wisconsin.
Having grown up in Wisconsin, Mary feels especially attuned to nature. Elements from nature are featured in most of her work. Travel plays a huge role to her for inspiration. She uses her photographic images as a resource for her artwork, and categorizes herself as an artist who takes pictures.
The diversity of mediums she works in stimulates her creativity. Although primarily working in printmaking, with monotypes, serigraphy, and lithography, she likes to push boundaries by overlapping and combining some of the different techniques each process offers. Other mediums she works with include fabric, painting, and photography.
Over her lifetime, Mary has won several awards for her artwork. In second grade, she received her very first, First Place Award. She was recently awarded First Place in a juried show. She participated in a public art project for the city of Lewisville, TX in 2018, and two of her designs were selected to be included in the piece. Mary had a solo show at the MCL Grand Theater Main Gallery, Lewisville, summer 2019.
For most of her working life, Mary had positions in creative fields, and had her own freelance display business. Eventually, she moved into graphic arts and held positions as a publication specialist and production artist. Since 2009, she has concentrated on producing her own artwork.
Mary is member, and on the Board, of the Visual Art League of Lewisville (VAL), and a member of Southern Graphics Council International. She has been the Print room assistant at Brookhaven College, Dallas, Texas, for the past year. Her studio is located at the Goldmark Cultural Center, also in Dallas. Mary resides in Carrollton,
TX, with her husband, and two dogs.
