Mary Frey: The States Project: Connecticut | LENSCRATCH

I first met Mary Frey in 1983. I was a freshman in college. Mary quickly came to represent all that I could hope for myself in the future. She is an influential and internationally recognized artist, an admired teacher, a brilliant mind, and the kind of person you just want to know. Her honest but tough, constructive criticism was always delivered in a way to encourage and push you. My time with Mary as teacher/student then colleague and friend, left lasting marks on my work as an artist and eventually as a teacher and art administrator. I am a much stronger thinker and maker for knowing her. She has remained a great mentor and supporter.
