Mary

Mary knows about shape, color and form when it comes to her art, but when it comes to her clothes, she's dressing like a starving artist - tops shaped like tents and colored with paint spatters. As an up and coming artist, Mary needs to attend gallery openings and be the center of attention. Unfortunately, Mary's hair also needs some attention. Cutting her own bangs is the only thing that's happened to her style for years.
