Mary Hyde is an oil painter of landscape, marine, still life, portrait and figure studies.  She has painted for more than 25 years with a great regard for outdoor painting and still life work in the studio.  Her work demonstrates a strong understanding of tonal values with a sensitive and efficient colour usage.  Harmonious brush work with rich warmth in her colours are hallmarks of her painting style.  Mary paints a scenic range from involved elements like dockside and boat scenes to distant panoramic views.  Her studio work is a statement of many years of still life and figure painting where light and subject selection are brought to life with her gentle technique.  

​

Mary’s work flourished with overseas travel to the UK and Europe in 2011 and 2017, where the scenery and need to paint in busy locations developed an energy and immediacy in her work. 

Mary exhibits regularly within Melbourne and Country Victorian exhibitions and is a regular exhibitor with the Victorian Artists Society where she was awarded Artist of the Year in 2006 and 2012.  She won the ANL Best Traditional Painting Award in 2015 and 2017 in the Mission to Seafarers Maritime Art Prize. Mary is honoured to have been awarded the Australian Society of Marine Artists President’s Medal 2018 and ASMA Fellowship in 2021.

Mary’s work is represented in Corporate and Private Collections both in Australia and overseas.
