During her career as co-owner of Brickyard Pottery and Gallery in Shell Lake, Wisconsin, Mary worked with community members of all age levels on several public mosaic installations.  Mary designed the mosaics, as well as producing many of the mosaic components, and then worked with the group to fabricate and install the mosaics. 

​

Major installations are at the Shell Lake Public Library, the Shell Lake Post Office, The Shell Lake Arts Center and the Shell Lake Park and Beach.
