Mary Jane graduated from Lakehead University with a bachelor’s degree in fine art and a Post Graduate Certificate from Fleming College in Cultural Heritage Conservation and Management. Working with fabrics and garments in Grad school shifted her lifelong love of fashion to a deeper appreciation for textiles. Trained primarily as a painter creating abstract works, Mary Jane’s designs seek to fuse paint and textiles together to create abstract forms and blur the lines between different mediums. She is inspired by the natural world, the wild shapes and patterns swirling around in her head and the incredible female artists she has grown up surrounded by.
