Empowering Emerging Artists, Inspiring Art Enthusiasts

The Water’s Edge Gallery is located inside the Riverside Hotel above the main lobby, and artwork in every genre is displayed throughout the hotel. A mainstay in the Boise art scene, we exhibit local and emerging artists in a vibrant and dynamic space that showcases the creativity and innovation within our community. In addition to exhibits, the Water’s Edge Gallery also hosts workshops, special art exhibits, and other events.

As a western conservation artist and expressionistic/Fauvist painter, Mary paints in bright colors, not tied to representational colors in nature.  Living where the high desert meets the mountains, she is passionate about the west, the open plains, conservation, balanced land stewardship and animals, both domestic and wildlife. Through her art, Mary explores the connection of habitat and the increasing pressures of climate change and shared land use on the success and survival of species.  She seeks to understand our shared human values and the beliefs and norms that prompt us to protect our wildlife and wildplaces.
