Mary's Story: From Bob's Hut to Personalised Plates

By Mary Mitchell

Mary Roberta Mitchell was born in 1938 at a place called Bob’s Hut, Tilbooroo Station, Eulo, Queensland, Australia. She had lived and worked her whole life around the Cunnamulla/Eulo area. Mary went to grade 5 at school and has been passionate about Education all her life. She devotes much of her time now to volunteer work and is a regular speaker at the Cunnamulla State School.
Mary is an Elder of the Mardigan Tribe.
‘Mary’s Story’ includes heartache and joy. From total illiteracy to University degrees. From no transportation to cars and jet travel. From not having anything to almost taking it for granted that we all have mobile phones and computers.

I live on Gabriola Island, BC. My years working as a forester in the woods of British Columbia has greatly influenced my art work. I work mainly in acrylic and my style has been influenced by Robert Burridge. I am drawn to the freedom and color intensity of acrylics, and enjoy adding many layers as well as texture to my paintings.
