Mary Landavere
Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, Mary Landavere’s life story weaves together her desires to both help people holistically and use her creative gifts to paint works that resonate with the viewer. Mary was introduced to oil painting in the third grade when her mother observed Mary’s strong interest in art. Weekly lessons provided a structured, guided environment where she learned to apply and hone her gift. Exercises in still-life, landscape, and portraiture painting allowed Mary to develop her skills of observation while absorbing the techniques of paint application.
