Mission San Miguel Arts Presents Guest Artist
Mary Kedzior
(Parishioner)


"I try to capture people in their natural state, engaged in a favorite activity, or just enjoying life. If I can elicit some kind of emotion from my subject, I feel I’ve accomplished what I set out to do."

Mary Kedzior is a freelance writer with a passion for photography. Mary’s love of the camera developed at about the age of two, when her father began taking pictures of her and her three siblings with his camera, the kind with the mouse that pops out.

When she turned 18 she received a Rollei, the smallest 35mm camera made, from a family she was living with in Germany. With her Rollei she travelled to 32 countries while she was living and studying in Germany. Now she owns a Canon, but never leaves home without her Rollei, which she keeps with her as a back-up.

Mary has won awards for her photography at the last two fairs held at the Mid-State Fairgrounds in Paso Robles. Her favorite subjects are her husband Tony and her daughter Sally.

Mary is currently exhibiting at "The Flower Lady" on 2240 Spring Street in Paso Robles. A portion of the proceeds will go to the parish hall building fund and Camp Hope, a summer day camp for children with disabilities.

For more information, Mary can be reached at mkedzior@tcsn.net
