Everyone needs a creative outlet, and for artist Mary Talbot, that outlet is photography. ‘I started with a wonderful point and shoot camera given to me by my mother.’ In her words, she s tarted exploring her passion for photography rather latent in life, a passion that was bursting to come out. She now reflects; ‘photography has given me serenity’. Born and raised in Bermuda, Mary acquired an early appreciation of the arts, as her mother was a painter. Her great-grandfather too was a painter, and to this day, Mary feels a connection with him through his paintings of nature and landscapes. With family ties to the East Coast, she decided to study at a small University in New Brunswick. During her time there, she came to appreciate life in Canada, which included a change in seasons, big trees and wide-open spaces. After graduating with a BA studying Psychology and French, she returned to Bermuda where she worked and saved money for her permanent move back to Canada. S
