Mary Louise became a well known fashion illustrator for Harzfelds, Macy's, The Jones Store in Kansas City, Speigels in Chicago, and, Saks Fifth Ave. in New York winning many National and International awards for her work. She was commanded to do portraitures in pencil and watercolor of her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II and Oscar de la Renta. She eventually opened a children's clothing store and illustration gallery specializing in infant and toddler portraitures in pencil, oil and acrylics . She also displayed her paintings in Still Life in Weston, MO for 14 years. Mary Louise always considered her paintings as her children. The themes of many of her sketches and paintings reflect the innocence of childhood. Her landscapes reflect a very bold and distinctive style. She continued doing her art until her death October, 2006 at the age of 86. Art in Retro-Spect

New Products arriving in February! Look for these products arriving in February! Mother of Pearl...Wall Art, Vases, Wood Sculptures, Jewelry Boxes, Photo Albums and more! The art of inlaid Mother of Pearl is a dying art. To inlay mother of pearl the artist must make an intricate and very time consuming carving of his picture before pouring the mother of pearl. The art has been replaced with the appliqued mother of pearl technique that you will find more common in newer pieces. I purchased my first mother of pearl appliqued piece approximately 30 years ago. I suggest that when you find an inlaid mother of pearl art piece, you purchase it for your collection. More than likely, it will be an older piece of art and will only continue to increase in value. Or, a very rare newer piece! Mother of Pearl
