Mary Demorest Baidenmann

Mary lives in Felida, Washington, where she writes novels with a streak of mischief and a steady kind of grit. A novelist and visual artist, she paints landscapes, vintage trucks and aircraft then turns around to paint onions, birds, or florals and anything else with a stubborn personality. When she’s not writing or painting, she’s hosting deck gatherings marked by dry humor, good stories, and Sven—her artist chef husband, who adds his own creative flair to everything he touches. Mary’s work leans into resilience, sly wit, grit, and the surprising strength of ordinary people who carry more fire than they let on.
