The Art of Missionary Mary Proctor

January 20 – April 21, 2012

Prior to becoming an artist, Mary ran a junk and odds and ends store in rural North Florida. Told by God that “the door is the way” she began to paint on an old door lying in her yard, and thereafter her focus turned to art making. Using objects found in her junkyard, which is now her American Folk Art Museum & Gallery, Missionary Mary crafts three-dimensional assembled works from buttons, mirrors, jewelry and other trinkets. Some works are inspired by bible scripture and others by memories of her grandmother or her childhood. Most of Mary’s art includes written messages of spiritual truths or life lessons.
