I find inspiration everywhere, especially in nature, animals, holidays, travel, and the little details of everyday life.
In her own words
Written by Mary Clare for this page.
I’m an artist and illustrator based in western Colorado, where I live with my husband and two children. I’m a self-taught artist, and when I’m not creating, I enjoy coffee, camping and hiking, traveling to new places, trivia nights, and board games.

I’ve always been creative—painting and drawing, spending late nights scrapbooking, making homemade gifts for people, and creating things for as long as I can remember. Over time, that love of creating naturally grew into a freelance illustration business. I find inspiration everywhere, especially in nature, animals, holidays, travel, and the little details of everyday life.
My style blends classic and contemporary influences with a warm, colorful, hand-drawn feel. I’m especially drawn to nature-inspired subjects and creating joyful artwork that feels both timeless and fresh.
I’ve been working with It Takes Two since 2024, and it has been so exciting to see my illustrations become greeting cards that people can find in stores and send to the people they love.
Before settling in Colorado, my family and I spent three years traveling the country full-time in an RV and visited 34 states along the way. It was an incredible way to experience so many different landscapes, towns, and parts of the country together. Those years still influence my love of travel, nature, and creating artwork inspired by the places around us.
