Mary Scrimgeour, our amazing artist!
Mary
Scrimgeour is the artist for all of our artwork on the site. Her amazing
water colors have really brought to life our expeditions and we are very
grateful to her for her time and generosity.
Mary has been interested in art since she was about six years old. While
studying art in high school, she took workshops and night classes as well.
She majored in fine arts at Metro State College in Denver and the University
of Colorado, and has taken numerous classes and workshops with Colorado
artists. She was an art director for several magazines for 18 years. During
this time she continued her artwork independently. She also spent five years
designing clothing and owned a designer clothing store in downtown Boulder,
Colorado.
In 1990 she decided to pursue art full time. Her travels worldwide continue
to enhance and nourish her work. Mary is interested in interpreting, not
duplicating, the world by painting what she sees and feels. A love for children,
a sense of humor and a compassion for people are some of the feelings she
blends with her vision. Mary has two children. Her son is an architect and
lives in San Francisco and her daughter is a graphic designer and lives
in Boulder, Colorado. Mary's work is in private collections throughout the
country.
