The Art of
Mary Lou Troutman
Mary Lou Troutman
About the Artist -
Mary Lou Troutman was born in 1957 and grew up in the countryside of Southern Maryland. From an early age
she began expressing her talents and upon graduation from St. Mary's Academy (where she won the senior art
achievement award) she attended Md. College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland. Between high school and her first
year of college she met a man that would change her life and career for the better.
In the fall of 1977 she married Jeff Troutman, who immediately recognized her talent for art and took her work
to a local art league where she has been exhibiting ever since. Mary Lou and Jeff returned to her home town of
Dameron, a small country town located along the Chesapeake Bay on the southern tip of St. Marys' county.

Mary Lou and Jeff returned to her
home town of Dameron, a small
country town located along the
Chesapeake Bay on the southern tip of
St. Marys' county. From her woodland
studio she kept close company with the
abundance of nature which surrounded
her. St. Marys' county with it's creeks,
marches, rivers, and the Chesapeake
Bay, provided a never ending and
unique mix of subject matter. Mary Lou
has developed a personal feeling of
nostalgia for the "way it was" way of
life along the Chesapeake. Her detailed
acrylic painting reflect a strong sense of
light with a realistic touch. Mary Lou's
career could not exist without the
constant help of her family. Jeff, who
does most of the shows, Andy, her son,
and Shannon, her daughter, who do
most of the matting and framing.
Through the years of recognition,
numerous awards and artistic
achievements her work has become a
part of both private and corporate
collections that span from coast to
coast. Mary Lou was chosen for
Maryland's' 1994 Ducks Unlimited
sponsor Artist.
