Mary Marsland has always been a keen painter and recently won a competition run by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Her artwork was exhibited at the Manchester Art Gallery and was inspired by works by LS Lowry, Liam Spencer & the French artist Valette.
Mary specialises in street scenes depicting current society, particularly people from different cultural backgrounds. She loves to observe everyday people in her home town of Burnley, Lancashire and sketches what she sees in the same way as Lowry.
