Mary Schaefer

My life became an exciting novel when I became
A PSEUDO MINER.

For six months out of every year for fifteen (15) years I followed my Mining Engineer husband to the most remote areas of the world, discovering new worlds, some 3,700 feet beneath the surface of the Earth and others 14,000 feet above the earth and thousands of miles in-between. Traveling between worlds became a way of life that intrigued me.

The major force in my life, that became an awakening of my inner spirit, was experiencing many people and their cultures, sometimes aboriginal but always most enriching.  The drama of their lives was mysterious, superstitious and filled with a peace that easily masked terror and impending danger.  Heaven became Hell! VAYA CON DIOS were the last words I heard.

My favorite companion in this whole world that is always in the studio for many hours while I paint. 

Her name is Tally Loo.

Why I Shop at Sarnoff

Henry Sarnoff helped to implement all that I have done.  From the first day I met him, many years ago, he became my friend and a partner in the arts, who was always willing and anxious to see that I got all the supplies I needed.  No task was too hard for him to make sure I enjoyed the support system I needed to achieve my individual artistic needs and successes.

I believe in supporting our very own local businesses.  By doing so, we become a family unit of mutual endeavors and shared successes.

Thanks Henry, for being my friend and compadre and being such a contributor to many worthy causes that we have worked together on.
