Mary Calkins
Mary Calkins began studies in 1971, but
left to pursue other directions. She returned to the Massachusetts
College of Art in Boston seventeen years later. This renewed
commitment resulted in her BFA in Painting in 1994.

During this time, Ms. Calkins developed an interest in Native
American culture, which in 1992 led to a year of study at
the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Since completing her formal training, Ms. Calkins has pursued
painting and printmaking full time. She combines techniques
and approaches for unusual results; one of her favorites in
the incorporation of collage in her work. The resulting images
are rich with texture, color and environmental and historical
influences.
Ms. Calkins' work is non-representational, allowing individual
responses and interpretation. Her paintings have been featured
in a number of shows.
