Since 1987, Mary has brought western landscapes to life with her vivid portrayals, at times touching or humorous
but always compelling, of the wild creatures and native communities that define the West. Her nine books, hundreds
of articles, signs and exhibits in parks and visitor centers, countless brochures, and Words On Birds column in the Rocky
Mountain News, have helped people of all ages increase their knowledge and understanding of wildlife and enlist
their commitment to preserve our priceless natural heritage.
Mary is available for writing projects, teaching workshops and speaking engagements on nature writing, prairie and mountain
landscapes, native plants and wildlife, birds and birding, watching wildlife, outdoors with kids and other related topics.
