Notice biographique
Mary Elizabeth Rawlyk (nee Pike) was born in Toronto in 1934. Rawlyk received a B.A. from McMaster University in 1955, but continued her arts education taking courses at the Ontario College of Education, Mount Allison University, Nova Scotia College of Art and Brighton Polytechnic.
Her work expresses her own challenge to combine motherhood and her artistic practice. Her work foregrounds the struggles of women, in particular the labour conditions faced by mothers. In her printmaking, drawing and heat-transfer work, Rawlyk explores women’s unpaid labour in the home using as domestic icons traditionally female objects such as cutlery, aprons, appliances, and measuring cups.
Rawlyk has exhibited her work in solo shows at the Art Gallery of Burlington, in Burlington, Ontario, The Agnes Etherington Art Centre in Kingston, Ontario, The Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa, Ontario, and the Mount St. Vincent University Gallery in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Her work has won many awards at group exhibitions across Canada.
The Art Gallery of Ontario, the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, and the Robert McLaughlin Gallery, as well as corporate, municipal, provincial, university and public library collections all hold her work. In the past, Rawlyk was represented commercially by Mira Goddard Gallery in Toronto, Ontario and Equinox Gallery in Vancouver, British Columbia, among others.
Mary Rawlyk is an artist who continues to live and work in Burlington, Ontario.
