Some of Mary's work is conceptual in the true sense as in "Mozambique", where she extends the real event of people living in trees during the floods to make a comment on the basic human need to survive. Her motivation has consistently been social, with a recent developing passion for landscape. Her continuing figurative work has now turned to the field of sport, aerobics where she finds room for the expression of her quirky individual view of this human endeavour. She was born in New York, trained at the Slade School, London, and now lives in Scotland.

Mary Louise runs a Public Art practice called COULOURIS ART AND DESIGN. Creativity, imagination and design sense are key concepts, which have fed and will feed many successful commissions.

Mary Louise who has long been a fan of Harold Pinter's work recently completed this portrait of the outstanding British playwright, in response to the announcement of his Nobel Prize for Literature.

Recent commissions have been:

• Circular mosaic seat for Skyros Holidays, Greece

• Three large artist designed rugs for the new Scottish Poetry Library.

• Two wine labels for Sainsburys (double first prize in open competition)

• Healthcare Arts commission for limited edition prints

• Main play area for Glasgow Garden Festival

A belief that design can be the core, spreading into many areas is central.
