"Mary Richmond is a gentle, but exciting, teacher, artist, and naturalist...the kind of teacher who makes learning
an adventure in discovery and who, at the same time, imparts the knowledge and skills that lead a learner to mastery and joy.
Mary generously shares her in-depth knowledge and great love of the natural world in a way that nonspecialists can easily
relate to. In her art classes, Mary structures the learning environment and provides the necessary "how-to" information,
then gently guides her students' creativity. Above all, Mary has a great respect for both her students and the natural
world they experience together. She elicits the best in all of us who have had the privilege of working with her." former student, Marguerite Krupp
"Mary has the great naturalist talent of being "all seeing." Whether it be bird or bug
she spots it then ropes you in to see the beauty in the beasty." Mary
Beers, Director of Education, Green Briar Nature Center, Thornton Burgess Society

"Mary Richmond uniquely blends her naturalist skills, educator background, and artistic
talents to offer art students, or those just interested in nature, the chance to “see” and experience the
natural world in a brand new way. Mary is creative, inspirational, friendly, inviting, patient, and generous with her talents.
The classes she has taught and organized for the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary have been well received." Melissa Lowe, Adult Program and Education Coordinator, Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary
