Quotations:
"My best times are spent with my husband and two children. I love mountains, camping, hiking, snowshoeing and collecting antiques."
"Drawing pictures has been a part of my life since I was first able to hold a crayon. I love creating images with line and color and the ability to visually communicate an idea, since so much of what we learn is with our eyes."
"Writing became important to me in grade school. I found it to be a wonderful tool for unlocking my own feelings and defining the world around me."
"In college, I was drawn into a third field of study: interpersonal communication, or how we talk to each other. I was fascinated by the basic concepts of relating to people, while troubled by our neglect to teach these skills to children at a young age. I realized, that communication was the common denominator in all of my interests."
"I look forward to creating many more works for children. I still have many more dreams to fulfill."
Mary married Bill King, a chief financial officer for an aircraft manufacturer, on October 10, 1981. Their marriage produced two children — Alyssa and Anna.
