Born in 1985 as Mary Aday. I am from a big, poor, neglectful family from Mississippi. I left home at 13 years old.

 I just stayed at my best friend's houses till I got my own place at 16. So then came Memphis College of Art right out of high school and that's when my entire world became nothing  but ART. I was obsessed. I took classes in every medium that I could, focusing on sculpture and clay arts. My passion for painting came after art school. 

I began painting figures from my sketchbooks and then just kept going. I have now been painting for over 20 years. 

    Considering myself a playful experimenter, who also likes to spin a good yarn with my imagery.  

My work is inspired by many Abstract Expressionists but also emotional, raw artists like Frida Kahlo.

     Ralph Steadman has an huge influence in my work as well. My early drawings is just me trying to copy him. 

I am now determined to stay true to my own expressive voice and point of view. Currently obsessed with Color!

        Being an artist with a strong, expressive and unique voice is my biggest aspiration in life.
