Mary C Bittner

Mary calls her work "Earth Friends".  She chooses her subject matter from nature, the earth's friends: animals, flowers, fruits and vegetables, landscapes, seascapes, and of course, people. Mary believes all reflect God's providence, and are creatively memorialized by her with joy, appreciation and gratitude. Working in a soft realistic style, sometimes impressionistic, Mary seeks the essence of her subject, hoping viewers will experience the joy she found there.
 
She holds memberships in Pittsburgh Watercolor Society, Watercolors Gallery, Pittsburgh Society of Artists, Associated Artists of Butler County, North Hills Art Center, and Carnegie Institute.
 
Since 1980, Mary has enjoyed teaching watercolor and acrylic painting at Fox Chapel Adult Education, North Hills Art Center, Boyd Community Center, Mary's Gallery and as an adjunct faculty member of LaRoche College.
 
She has served two terms as director of both the North Hills Art Center and the Pittsburgh Watercolor Society.
