Mary Moye-Rowley is both a graphic designer and artist, allowing one to inform the other. She is known for her joyful black-and-white portraiture, and hyper-realism in her still life and landscape. Her compositions feature everyday objects — from marbles to tools to fabric — invoking symbols of childhood and the richness of everyday life, and speak to the way we imbue objects with meaning.
Mary has a BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Mary has supported a number of local philanthropic projects with her artwork. She designed and illustrated a cookbook for the Iowa City Ronald McDonald House featuring her portraits of 33 children. Working with her young neighbor whose father died of cancer, Mary wrote and illustrated Logan’s Story, a hospice resource book used to help children understand the disease.
