Mary Headlee
Houston-born Mary Headlee is a visual artist with a degree in Fine Arts from University of Texas at Arlington. Growing up in a family environment of cultural encouragement, she was urged early in her life to develop her love of representational visual art.
After college, Mary worked as a graphic designer and artist for a metroplex printing firm and did freelance illustration as well.
Mary enjoys solving the problems of scale and style that come with each design opportunity. "The choice of subject, colors and style for mural work and decorative paint work is intensely personal, an enhancement tailored specifically to the owner's taste. It's critically important that I really listen to a prospective client so that I can help them to realize their own vision of their living or working space. I enjoy the sketching, planning and refining of ideas, and I absolutely love stepping back when it's all done and seeing how everything came together."
Mary's goal in her designing and painting is to merge your vision or your concept with an artist's talent to make it a reality, right in your own home or business.
