Name ~ Marilynn Dwyer Mason & Her Beloved Bears

Marilynn was born in Butte on June 17, 1943, she attended Saint Ann’s Grade School and Girl’s Central Catholic High School, graduating in 1961. Marilynn knew at two-years old that she was an artist and along with her family they knew it was her God-given gift.  Encouragement from her parents help to inspire her with her natural born skill and ability becoming evident to everyone around her. Many of her youthful days were spent drawing and sketching and in high school she emerged as a portrait artist. Marilynn’s natural skills soon grew to include wonderful works in watercolor, pen and ink, pastel, acrylic and oil. She painted what her heart told her to – scenes of her hometown adventures in small town Montana, the wonderful wildlife and its local people. It is known that Marilynn's love and deep respect for all Native Americans and their culture helped to inspire her countless beautiful fine art portraits of Native American Indians, young and old. She has spent a great deal of her career illustrating furniture, painting murals, teaching art classes and mastering western landscapes. Later in life she began painting realistic bears in nostalgic and whimsical settings. Marilynn’s vision of bears enjoying all aspects of the outdoors became wildly popular.  Through a business partnership she formed Mason Maloof Designs and is now known as Dwyer Mason Art.
