Mary Procter, a Washington, DC resident, grew up with an art teacher mother and a grandmother who became an avid painter in her eighties, but only began painting seriously herself after her retirement in 2004. Her acrylic paintings have been accepted into juried exhibits at the Yellow Barn Gallery in Glen Echo, Maryland, Art on the Mountain in Southern Vermont, and at the Capitol Hill Art League Gallery (where she has won two awards). Jointly with her husband and fellow painter Bill Matuszeski, she has had exhibits of her acrylic and watercolor paintings at the Yellow Barn Gallery in Glen Echo, Maryland, at the H Street Theater, and the RESULTS Gym Gallery in Washington, DC. She and her husband host an annual three-day Open House of their work at their home early in the month of December. She has also designed, painted and built sets for local Washington, DC community theater. She studies plein air painting with Walt Bartman at the Yellow Barn Gallery, and has painted landscapes in Vermont, Florida, the Washington, DC area, and in many overseas locations.
