Mary Sumner was born in rural Northamptonshire in 1957 and was schooled locally before studying at Northampton School of Art and West Surrey School of Art and then later at Bristol University.
Well known and widely exhibited in the South-West, Mary had recently returned to painting and printmaking via producing decorative textiles.
Much of her work is based on the Mid-Devon landscape around Tiverton, her home for over 30 years. Sketched observations on her daily walks provide much of the inspiration for her pictures; farm landscapes, birdlife and life along the Grand Western Canal as well as the seascapes of the South-West.
Over time Mary’s style has evolved to capture glimpsed moments and moods of the ever-changing English countryside, coastal towns, rolling hills and animals going about their business. To produce detailed and intensely coloured pictures.
Very sadly Mary passed away in 2016
