Mary Demarest The Right-Brained Potter Mary will often refer to her art-inspiration as coming in “through the back door.” She loves to find new ways to incorporate the traditional into the contemporary and vice versa, or to use methods or materials that might be a surprise to her clients. “It’s kind of a ‘right-brained’ approach,” she says, thus her title of The Right-Brained Potter. Mary’s journey to pottery has been long and eventful, traveling through such destinations as drawing, painting, print-making, and three-dimensional art, places she’s visited and shared with her students along the way. Mary earned her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Art Education and is a National Board Certified Teacher of Early Adolescents & Young Adults. She holds an Ancillary Certificate for participating in the Talent Education Program in the Louisiana Public Schools and has taught in that program in both Jefferson and Ascension Parishes. Now retired, she has the time to devote to her latest passion, pottery. Working with her friend and mentor Sally McConnell of Glazed & Confused Pottery, she has jumped into the thrill of personal sales and craft sales with both feet. Two retired teachers? Playing in mud? Laughing and sharing ideas and skills? It’s a great formula that has convinced her that the best REALLY IS yet to come. Look at Mary’s work and you’ll see her “Art Children.” They are all food-safe and ready for adoption. And she promises that they are well-behaved and sure to be at home in your family as well. Mary’s current work can be found at the LSU Museum Gift Shop in downtown Baton Rouge, at the RRAA Gallery in the Houmas House Gift Shop in Gonzales, at Louisiana Pottery in Sorrento, in Déjà vu Interiors in Kenner and Sweet Tangerine in Corsicana, TX.
