About the Artist

Mary Motz Wills, a prolific watercolorist recognized for her paintings of wildflowers, was born in Wytheville, Virginia on June 6, 1875 to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Motz. Shortly after her birth, the family moved to Waco, Texas, where the artist and her younger sister, Elsie, spent their formative years. Their parents must have nurtured an artistic sensibility in their daughters, as while Wills would grow to be an established painter of floral still lifes, Elsie Motz Lowdon (1883-1960) would earn national acclaim for her painted miniatures.
