Mary Farmer

I am a founding member of The Artworks, and I create my quilted wall hangings, mug mats, placemats, hand-smocked children's dresses and christening dresses, and Victorian garments exclusively for the shop or special order.

Although I have lived in Hawaii, Washington, D.C., the Phillippine Islands, and several states, I am a native of the Old Forge area and have lived here for the last 30 years.  I am a mother of three and grandmother of seven.  When not traveling, often to visit them, I work at my craft full time.

I learned my basic craft as a Fashion and Merchandising major at RIT but developed additional skills mostly by "hands-on" experience for over forty years.  I have also attended many workshops with top designers in my field, and I read everything available that relates to my art form.

Three of my success "secrets" are: to use the very best supplies available, to keep organized, and to strive constantly to develop new designs and techniques.

I love my art form and believe that I put much care and love into each item that I create.
