Winds Studio has been an artist for over 40 years. A self-
taught visionary artist and teacher, who reflects her deep
beliefs of angels, faith and friendship in her painting and in
her life.
The journey with nature began many years ago. She and
her husband George and son Daniel are custom harvesters;
making the trek every year from Okalahoma to North
Dakota before returning to their home in Kansas.
They move the combines and trucks along many winding
miles of the heartland and harvest wheat, small grains and
row crops across the Midwest. Mary operates a combine or
drives truck for the family operation. Many ‘hats’ are
required to fill the bill for the mobile life style custom
harvesters live. As wife and mother she provides a
home-away-from-home for all the crew.
Mary was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1998. The art
work has not only kept her mind off the cancer but has also
created a spark in which to express her heartfelt feelings
about her life, thus the harvest pictures, the landscapes, the
flowers, and most of all the angels… which have graciously
touched her body and inspired her spirit.
The journeys through the heartland provide peace, healing
and inspiration for Mary’s art and life. As the seasons
change…winter to spring…the call of the open road beckons.
The seeds of possibilities, the growth of inspiration and
harvest of blessings all wait to be captured again in the mind
and on the canvas of Mary’s imagination!
