Mary B Leisz

Mary B. Leisz (1876 - 1931) was active/lived in Pennsylvania.  Mary Leisz is known for Nocturnal landscapes, rural scenes, barnyard chickens.

Mary B. Leisz was born in Reading, Pennsylvania in 1876. She began lessons with Christopher H. Shearer at the age of fifteen. Mary mastered both oil and watercolor painting and eventually developed her own distinct style, separate from her teacher.

She often painted near Tuckertown and Onteluanee in Berks, capturing flowing streams, gristmills, springhouses, and colorful foliage in her landscapes. Mary’s work also includes watercolor portraits, which focus on young women and children.

Mary became one of Christopher’s closest “proteges” and eventually taught art classes with him in his home studio.
