Once known as “Mary,” the artist changed her name to Maura as a 50th birthday present to herself and a portent of transformations to come. The works of Maura Conry spring from the deep well of a life overflowing with experiences. A native of New Orleans, she lived in a creative milieu from earliest childhood. She has walked the path of the artist, the Roman Catholic nun, the social worker activist, the psychotherapist, the researcher, the cancer champion, the writer, and the pharmacist. Her work is resplendent with symbolic Jungian overtones that mirror the roads traveled.
