Born in Biltmore Forest in Asheville, North Carolina and having lived and kept a house in Spain for many years, Mary-Louise finally settled down in Palm Beach, Florida, where she raised her children with husband James O'Sullivan and kept an active work studio, producing works over several years that were featured throughout the island's galleries and in private homes. After the children left the nest, Mary Louise wanted to find a home closer to the flora and fauna she had been photographing and painting for so long. Through insightful advice from old Vassar friends, she found just the right spot in Palm City, Florida, where she currently resides today. Her original oil paintings on Belgian linen are collected by numerous museums and corporate collections throughout the country and have been published in many books such as "Birds In Art", "The Best of Wildlife Art", and "The Artist And The American Landscape". |
