RNLI 200 ANNIVERSARY - SOUTHWOLD MIDSUMMER BALL & AUCTION
Training Night, Southwold RNLI
Mary was delighted to be asked to donate a painting for the Southwold RNLI Fundraising Ball being held in Saturday 15 June 2024. After visiting the boathouse on a freezing cold evening in February to watch the team prepare for a practice exercise at sea she produced this painting to go under the hammer at the Ball. All proceeds will go to the RNLI.
UPDATE: Very pleased that the painting sold for £800 at the auction.

BOOK - "DRAWN TO SOUTHWOLD"

SOLD OUT

Book Cover
"Drawn to Southwold" was the first book to be devoted to Mary's paintings and covered the full spectrum of her portfolio. While scenes of Southwold and of children at play were well represented, the collection was by no means one-dimensional. As well as the land-, sea- and townscapes of familiar places either side of the River Blyth, this book showcased Mary's much-loved figurative work and demonstrated her willingness to experiment both with technique and subject.

This hardback book was written by Norfolk based Alan Marshall, published in Norfolk by Mascot Media Ltd and printed in Norwich. The book extended to 132 pages and included in excess of 170 full colour images of Mary's work.

"Drawn to Southwold" was priced at £25. The book is now essentially sold out although you may be lucky enough to find the odd copy in the local area, as well as in Norwich, Ipswich and Cambridge.



Mary relies on Woodware Workshop in Beccles for all of their framing needs. See Geoff and the team at www.theframingplace.co.uk.
