Mary  McHugh has made her home in Drummond , WI for over twenty years after growing up in various neighborhoods of Minneapolis/ St. Paul, as well as spending a year in Berkeley, CA and London, England.

In the junior high grades Mary's favorite subject was math but in high school she was excited by the art classes she took. However, she joined the family tradition by becoming a high school math teacher in Drummond in January of 1985.  Starting in 1988  Mary took some evening art classes and has been painting with pastels ever since.  

In addition to her full time teaching and spare time landscape painting, she is a wife and mother of two teens, an avid gardener, the high school newspaper advisor, a member of a local book discussion group, and a leader in the Drummond Area Nordic Kids ski club and the Friends of the Drummond Public Library organization.

Her paintings are of her favorite places... the meadow she walks by nearly everyday on Delta Drummond Road, the Namakagon River, wooded trails, local inland lakes and bays of Lake Superior, and gardens in morning or evening light.  Her husband makes all of her frames from local birch and oak.

Artist statement:
'One of the best things about having landscape painting become part of my life is the awareness of the possible opportunity every day of creating a painting composition.... looking outside at the morning sky, watching the light and colors as I drive through the forest roads, wondering what light the sunset will bring on the water or on the clouds.  I feel the intensity of being alive and am continually aware of the beauty all around us.'
