MARY WASTIE

Mary Wastie was born in 1935, moved to Coverack on the Lizard peninsular in Cornwall in 1971 and has lived and worked there since.

Mary Wastie works in oils for her landscapes and seascapes. More recently, she has been working in charcoal and pastel for her beautiful figure studies.  Mary Wastie says of these 'I see the figure as a landscape – earth, granite or bronze – full of brooding possibilities'.

Mary Wastie has taken part in many group and solo exhibitions, mainly in Cornwall and London.  Between 1980-1995 she held annual solo shows at Trelowarren House, a major centre for the arts and crafts in Cornwall.  Her work is currently to be found in local Cornish galleries.
