“ Mary Rosengren is a visual artist whose installation and media works respond to overlays between images in art and science and the visualisation of dynamic systems. Her research of vegetation in extreme environments has taken her from the salt bush of Lake Mungo, New South Whales to sites in the Cairngorm Mountains of Scotland, the Antarctic Peninsular and into significant scientific collections and facilities in the United Kingdom and Australia, CSIRO Biological Collections and Australian Synchrotron.” anat.org.au

Mary’s practice reflects an ongoing interest in technology and nature.  Re-imaging Nature uses imagery of plants in extreme environments to explore the lacuna between the observations and experiences of nature in art and western science.

Since her first exhibition in 1979 at the George Patton Gallery, Melbourne Mary has held individual and group exhibitions in Australia, the United Kingdom and Japan. In addition to work in education, Mary has undertaken numerous commissions and public art projects for government, private sector and non-profit organisations in a range of contexts, and residencies in industrial sites in Melbourne and Sydney and the Antarctic Peninsular.
