About Mary

I'm Mary George, and I’ve been creating and selling art that radiates joy and positivity since 2017. Here's a little about me:

Home: Atlanta (Brookhaven) is home for me, my husband, our teenage daughter, Isabelle, and our dog, River. Isabelle is a Freshman at UGA.

My stepson Landon and his lovely wife Hannah live in Marshall, NC and recently had a baby boy!

Fun facts:

*Participated in first artist market in 2017 at St. Brigid's in Roswell.

*Favorite Art Shows: Spotlight on Art, Wesleyan Artist Market and MBA Art Show in Nashville.

*I have always been creative and love creating logos, taglines, and art of course.

*Day job: After 2 years in retail after moving to Atlanta, got an Assistant job at Turner Broadcasting (now Warner Bros. Discovery) and have been there ever since. I've been in a non-creative role at Turner/WBD for 31 years - completely operational and management, so art is my much needed creative outlet - turned side hustle.

*Favorite family spots to vacation: Destin, and North Carolina Mountains - and we loved our recent visit back to St. John, USVI

*Favorite current workout: Pure Barre

Favorite Recent Audible Book: Hotel Nantucket

*What inspires me: the colors of the beach, florals and interesting color combinations in general, fashion, home magazines (House Beautiful, Atlanta Homes, Veranda). Creativity in general.

*How I tend to paint: Loosely and unplanned - I rarely know what is going to take over the paper or canvas once i start to paint. :)

*Favorite quote (from the movie Babe): “Farmer Hoggett knew that little ideas that tickled, and nagged, and refused to go away should never be ignored, for in them lie the seeds of destiny” – Narrator

I'm always painting and post new pieces often as I love to market my work creatively :), so check back to see my new work on this site, or via my Instagram @mgeorgeart. I believe art should make people feel good, and I hope my work brings a little extra joy into your world. Thank you for supporting my little art business.
