About the Artist

Mary Benejam-O'Connell is a classically trained artist. She took to art as soon as she was able to hold a pencil. Throughout her childhood, she developed an appreciation for her majestic surroundings. She would often sit in and draw for hours a day honing her skills for her life in art.  Years of training and artistic expression made it clear that her life would be centered upon her passion for art.   She studied at the Florida School of the Arts for ten years.
