Food and art have always been Mary’s creative mediums. She came to Greater Cincinnati and earned an MFA from University of Cincinnati in Painting. After several years building her production career, she attended the Midwest Culinary Institute and became a food stylist for film and print where she works with teams executing foods in the movies or on your restaurant menu. Mary has also been teaching cooking to individuals and small groups along with workshops for community organizations and corporations for 10 years. 

“Empowering a 7-year-old or a 19-year-old headed off to college with knife skills and the basic understanding of where their food comes from while learning to feed themselves is one of my passions. Another is nurturing a curiosity for food, no matter what age you may be.”
