Writer
I've been a published writer since 1977. My essays, articles, columns,
and stories have been in over 200 publications, including American
Artist, Health, Prevention, the Boston Globe, the
Los Angeles Times, and many other national media. A chapter
from my forthcoming novel won an honorable mention in the 2005 McKnight
Awards and was a finalist in the 2001 Loft Mentor Series awards.
I wrote a bimonthly food column for the Los Angeles Times
syndicate, which appeared in over 86 newspapers nationwide, and a
bimonthly column for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. Ten of my
nonfiction books are published and I've just finished my second novel,
Breathing Room. |

Painter
I've loved art since I was a child and won my first drawing contest at
age twelve. Although I studied to be an oil painter, when I
began working with soft pastels in 1999, I fell in love with their radiant
color. I became a student of full-color seeing, attending classes with
artist Susan Sarback at The
School of Light and Color in Fair Oaks, California. My other art instruction
includes Ecole des Beaux Arts, Paris, France, Boston University's School
of Fine Art; and classes with the late Henry Hensche of the Cape Cod School
of Art.
Trained by Susan Sarback, for the past three years I've taught full-color
seeing and painting with soft pastels at several locations in the U.S.
Check out my Art Shows and Workshops page for more information on classes.
I usually have two solo exhibits of new paintings a year. If you'd
like to get an invitation to my next show, sign
up here.
My paintings are in an Impressionist style where I suggest shapes, distance,
and atmosphere via the quality of light. My art has won multiple
awards in shows and contests. "Summer Light" was chosen
for a special breast-cancer awareness calendar by Amoena Corporation.
Many of my paintings are in private, corporate, and university collections
throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe. If you're interested in
seeing a sample of my art, please e-mail me at mary@marycarrollmoore.com
for gallery information or go to my Artwork page.
Art has been an important part of my healing from breast cancer.
