| Mary has turned her kitchen into her 
      studio, where I chose to photograph her. Mary might be defined as an Outsider 
      Artist; she paints, draws and makes sculptures. Her home in South Minneapolis 
      (near 50th & Penn) has been turned into a work of art. She paints and 
      decorates it with her colorful designs and displays sculptures in her yard. 
      Not everyone likes what she does, but Mary has a strong will even in the 
      face of controversy. She has been victimized on several occasions physically 
      amd verbally, and her house continues to be vandalized. |
