Hi! I am Mary Moores. Thanks for stopping by my website! Growing up in the countryside of Frederick, Maryland, I learned to appreciate the beauty of the landscape and the hard-working ethic of the farming community.   I see paintings everywhere I go.  With the pure pigment of pastels, I reinterpret local, everyday life. By highlighting the beauty present in ordinary moments, I seek to reveal the joy of our shared daily experiences.
