SugarbeetsArtFlow..Flowing

Mary Faye Claggett is a native of Ashton, Maryland. After graduating Spelman College with a degree in Chemistry, Mary went on to pursue a career in clinical research, focusing in Oncology.  In 2018, her own beloved elderly father was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer.  Mary used art as a way to de-stress while taking her father to/from chemotherapy in Baltimore.  She became obsessed with acrylic pour painting, and with the Pandemic, came the time to devote to the practice.  Clinical Research is very much a “global” professional, and Mary originally sent her initial paintings to coworkers all over the world, from The Netherlands, to Mumbai, India as a way to bring a few minutes during the Covid-19 Pandemic. 

 

Heavily influenced by her parents devotion to growing the garden; hence the name of her business SugarbeetsArtFlow, and her father’s garage of tools, she experimented with furniture, various textiles, and other media.  "I actually hate beets, but despite drought or flood, beets always grow....always".  

 

Her own style could be described as  "peaceful art".
