Mary Brown is an artist and archaeologist living in Placitas, New Mexico. She has been a professional artist for over 20 years. Her work hangs in public spaces and the homes of collectors and families across the United States. Mary believes in the power of art to inspire thoughtful curiosity and nurture mindfulness. Mary is also a Registered Professional Archaeologist with an M.A. in Anthropology, and combines her two passions, art and archaeology, to produce interpretive archaeological illustrations. Her illustrations transcend the gap between human and artifact by visually interpreting the context and data of archaeological discovery in a way that is meaningful and relatable. Mary believes pairing art and archaeology provides a powerful tool for public education. Visually representing past lives allows the viewer to understand artifacts and sites not just in terms of data, but also in terms of the human experience, which she believes collectively holds far more similarity than difference.
2. Identify the benefits of visually interpreting data
3. Describe basic processes and techniques used to visually interpret data
4. Outline how to start incorporating interpretive archaeological illustration into the workplace and careers
