P. Mary Manrod

As an artist for the last 30 years, I have been galleried and won awards for my ceramic sculpture, jewelry, mixed media and woodcarving, and painting (watercolor, oil and acrylic). I know the importance of having great places to show one’s art and have the community get to see it in the best possible way.

I have taught to groups (up to 40 students) of various ages from two years old to senior citizens at all levels from very beginning to professional, including students that started as children and are now pursuing art majors at university, and successfully selling their art. I have also tutored through university level in numerous other subjects, especially English.

My passion is for everyone to pursue their own creative path, supported by bringing them into contact with various artists and sometimes by my teaching of the skills, tools, techniques and sense of play that will bring joy to their learning process.

My writing, editing and proofreading experience is in technical, academic and various published works, including articles, dissertations, books and white papers

Profile
As an artist, passionate animal lover, gardener and avid reader, I spend time teaching art, volunteering with various rescues, making and donating art works and assisting in various courses through Landmark Worldwide, including the Wisdom area. I enjoy spending time with my family and love to continue learning.
