Mary Shelley seen carving

Mary Shelley is a self-taught artist who creates pieces from white pine board, carving the picture and then finishing it with acrylics. In this video she’s seen at the Ithaca Farmers’ Market (where she can be found most Saturdays in the Summer) demonstrating the carving skills she developed as carpenter and building her own house.
