Mary and a doll.

Mary's Gone Wild

Mary continues to collect things and make striking outsider art. A good portion of her little town, including the treehouses, are in extreme disrepair. Great place to take pictures and leave a donation.

Mary's Gone Wild: Bottle House

Visited and met Mary (a very cordial lady). This place has nooks and crannies filled with lots of vibrant artwork and projects. A nice experience.

Mary loves to make structures out of (or stuffed) with bottles, among her other artistic pursuits.

Mary's Gone Wild Folk Art

I visited Mary's place with my girlfriend Rena on her birthday. This place really kept us amazed. I wish through the years Mary had received help getting her place more organized and less cluttered. I could see the love that Mary had infused in her work. She was a very sweet lady and I saw the talent that God gave. To others her paintings and bottle work might seem like junk, but to me they were blessings that she used for many years.
