Greetings! I apply art and design in the tangible world in a variety of ways, and work in many mediums. For most of my life I have made one-of-a-kind signs, working with each client from the design concept stage to the actual fabrication of the sign. This is how the early American artists worked, called a limner, and they would also paint portraits and do decorative work, as I do. Signs made as art become a part of the identity of an enterprise, and are cherished possessions. See artwork.

Please email me if you'd like any artwork done. I now work primarily with oil on canvas, painting the ever beautiful American scenery, and do commissioned environmental graphics. Please call or email with any questions about artwork you may be considering. An oil of Llamas in the Landscape is on view at the Country Corral in Williamsburg, MA on Route 9.

I lived and worked for many years in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Jamestown, Rhode Island, where I earned a BA in Art at the University of Rhode Island. Initial course work in landscape architecture and employment at the Cooperative Extension Center there led me to the Connecticut River Valley where I earned an MLA at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Department of Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning in 2005.

A Preliminary Handbook for the Preservation of New England's Dry Stone Walls by Mary Everett

This Handbook grew from a Masters Project directed by Professor Ethan Carr. It embodies concern for the historical and cultural layers of our built environment. The findings are applicable where ever stone walls are found. Click here to view a portion of the Handbook on my website: Dry Stone Wall Preservation Handbook

Are New Englands emblematic stone walls in jeopardy, and are there successful measures available to protect them? Are there compelling reasons to move for their preservation, and is there a role for landscape architects and planners in their future? Dry stone walls are found to be at the intersection of geology, landscape, history, craft, archeology, and art.

This Handbook introduces methods and strategies drawn from many different disciplines that are being used for their conservation. The intent of this groundwork is to inspire and equip designers, individuals and communities with tools for safeguarding our irreplaceable, site-specific dry stone handwork.

Partners in research and important resources for stone wall preservation may be found at: The Stone Wall Initiative Dry Stone Conservancy

Copies of the bound Handbook are available for $35.00, including shipping and handling. Please send an email with your request.
