About the Artist:
Mary Felton graduated from the Art Institute of
Boston and worked as a commercial artist for several years before
switching to fine art. Since building her home in 1995, which
provided her with a permanent studio, she has had much success with
her black and white charcoal drawings.
Having exhibited widely in hundreds of juried shows nationwide, as
well as having solo shows in Boston and New York; she now has
accumulated many prestigious awards over the years. In 2008, her
charcoal drawing “Order Up” was awarded the first ever Gold Medal of
Honor Best in Show Award at the Academic Artists Association’s
Annual Juried Show in Springfield, MA. This same year she has also
won the Best in Show Award at the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts
Annual Juried Show in Mystic, CT for her well known portrait “The
Boxer”.
In addition to her personal work, she occasionally does commissioned
portraits, mainly of horses. When not working in the studio, she
enjoys being active in the many organizations to which she has been
juried into as a member which includes the Hudson Valley Art
Association, Hudson Valley, NY and the International Guild of
Realism, Scottsdale, AZ. She is represented by Franklin 54 Gallery,
NYC.
