Mystery McCarthy
Mystery was born in the small city of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada in 1973. While in her early twenties, Mystery educated herself by way of self imposed study using reference library material on the subject of art history and traditional painting technique, and has been honing her skills over many years of practice as a professional artist. She received certification from two local colleges, and worked for some years as a professional horticulturalist and landscape designer. Through this time she managed to follow her passion, painting when she could find time, while raising two sons on her own. Oil paint has always been her preferred choice of mediums. In recent years she has switched from painting on stretched canvases to painting on wood panels. Her education has proven beneficial in painting, as she can apply her horticultural knowledge of trees, plants, and flowers towards painting them in a convincing manner in landscapes. She is currently living and working in Port Alberni, BC, Canada as a full time professional artist.
