Mary Dondero is an artist who earned her B.F.A. at Roger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island where she concentrated in Graphic Design, Printmaking and Photography. Mary holds an M.A.T. from the Rhode Island School of Design and an M.F.A. from UMass Dartmouth. She is currently a full-time tenured faculty member in the Department of Art and Art History at Bridgewater State University, in Massachusetts. During her 2011 sabbatical, Mary was awarded “Artist in Resident” at Zion National Park in Utah. This resulted in a body of work titled “Perception, Time & Memory,” with one of the resulting paintings now held in the permanent collection at Zion Human History Museum in Springdale, Utah.
Mary’s artwork is regularly exhibited at Atelier Gallery in Newport, Rhode Island. Her artwork is also exhibited both nationally and internationally, and is held in several collections, including the permanent collection of Naestved International Print Studio in Denmark, Bridgewater State University, Newport Art Museum Rhode Island, Healing Arts at Rhode Island Hospital, the Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion in New Hampshire, and the Center for Fine Art Photography, Fort Collins, Colorado. In 2016, the Newport Art Museum presented Dondero’s “Small Points in Time” as a solo exhibit.
