While living in Weisbaden, Germany, Mary Alice began training with the German museum curator, Heinz Hertzfeld. It was not until 2001, after raising a family and retiring from a career in economic education, that Mary Alice was able to build upon Hertzfeld's foundation.
She has since studied extensively at the Art Student League of Denver with Sandra Kaplan, Margaretta Gilboy, Quang Ho and Rick Brogan, and with nationally noted artists Tim Deibler, Mark Nelson and Brenda Hendrix.
Mary Alice has presented three one-woman shows, the most recent at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, CO All sales proceeds from her previous show were dedicated to breast and prostate cancer research through the Colorado Cancer Research Project.
In juried exhibits she has garnered first place, people’s choice award, two jurors' awards and was featured promotional artist for the Art Student League of Denver's "Face It" portrait exhibit.
"Spring on Fall River," painted in Rocky Mountain National Park, was awarded Paint the Parks Top 100. This juried exhibition honoring America's national parks is one of the wealthiest painting competitions in the country. "Spring on Fall River" toured the U.S. through 2008. In addition, "Tributary" painted on the Colorado River near Moab, received Paint America's Top 200 designation.
