What began as a part-time fancy has blossomed into a full-time passion for stained-glass artist, Mary Ingalls. Known for her technical expertise and creative renderings, Mary's pieces are recognized from Cape Elizabeth, Maine, where she grew up, to Tybee Island, Georgia where she now lives and works.

Drawn to the Southeast's changing sea and sky, Mary pushes her traditional craft to bold new expressions of the fun and fanciful. "Most recently, I've crafted open works that reflect the energy and playful curiosity of one of our coast's natural treasures...fish!" Mary not only creates from her lively imagination, she accepts work on commission for private and commercial customers designing and installing pieces that enhance both the home and office.

An active arts promoter, Mary is involved with arts in her community. She is a member of Savannah, GA's oldest co-op Art Gallery 209 on Savannah's historic River Street. She has held a leadership role with the local arts association since 1996, sat on the board of The Marine Science Center and has organized special events for the City of Tybee and Thunderbolt. This Southeastern artisan's hand-crafted decorative panels and windows, kiln-fired glass jewelry, whimsical mixed-media nautical scenes, and brilliant suncatchers are frequently available in southeast Georgia.
