Born in the Midwest and raised in Rochester, NY, Mary trotted the globe in search for inspiration and purpose. After listening to sounds and taking in the culture of Ireland, Norway, Brazil, Argentina and Chile, she found herself singing songs and playing guitar in New York City clubs. With her Quaker and Buddhist ideals at heart, she put herself through school at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. Upon graduation, she released Finding Home in response to her travels. Now in New York City she teaches, writes and performs and is working on her second album.


“An artist has a responsibility.
To listen to the world around him or herself.
To take it in and comprehend the complexity to the best of his or her ability.

An artist has a responsibility.
To be honest.
Art, in its truest form, has no hidden agenda – it is there to breathe, to speak, to merely exist.

An artist has a responsibility.
To create a positive message.
To propose a solution, radical or simple as it may be – to serve the greater good.”
