Today, I’m so excited to share this conversation with a true creative force—Mary White. Mary is not just a sculptor and educator; she’s a visionary leader who uplifts the voices of women in environmental art and education, empowering them to make waves and create meaningful change. I’ll leave her website information in the notes—it’s truly inspirational.
I am most intrigued by Mary as an artmaker. To me, Mary works collaboratively, but she never negotiates her values, holding steadfast to what matters most in every project she undertakes. She creates art that integrates natural sciences, environmental perception, arts education, and peacemaking, all through the lens of formed friendships. She seems to know everyone, and now I am pleased to introduce you to this amazing ecofeminist.
Mary is the daughter of a water resources geographer, and her early travels sparked a passion for the creative process, nature, and caring for the earth’s creatures and natural resources. As a scholar, she won a Fulbright to Ireland, where she produced a symposium with her cohorts, focusing on craft as a vehicle for social justice.
As a teacher, she taught at the Corning Museum of Glass and California College of the Arts, spent 20 years teaching at San Jose State University, and started the glass program at The Crucible in Oakland, California. She is currently co-chair of Women Eco Artists Dialog (WEAD).
Tune in to this conversation, where we catch up with Mary during her short stay in Colorado with family, and she takes us behind the scenes of her 18-foot public art installation titled Flood Marker, along with a few other works from her career!
