Statement

"My work is based on the specific characteristics of fiberart - color, texture, flexibility and extension through embroidery and sewing. I try to express the lyricism of human life. I make no apologies for wanting my work to be visually delightful! Today, isolation and 'personal content' are controversial issues in the arts. Sharing the personal can be a gift of common language that can transcend imagined differences."

Reviews

Sharon Dowd, Duluth, Minnesota: "This is great! I especially love the SEACOAST and the DRAGONFLY. You do magnificent work, Mary!"

Peter L. Freeman, West Liberty College, West Liberty, West Virginia: "I like Mary Cain's delicate, knitted, small-scale hangings. Her objects manage to project a painterly, watercolor effect while maintaining their warp-and-weave characteristics, a balance that fiberartists sometimes fail to achieve."
