Mary McIntyre (born 1928) is a New Zealand artist. Her works are included in major art collections in New Zealand and Australia.
McIntyre was born in Auckland, New Zealand.[1] She began painting while living and working in Waikato, where her husband was a farmer.[2] In 1966 she attended an Elam School of Fine Arts Summer School in Auckland and was tutored by Colin McCahon.[3][2] After the summer school she returned to Waikato, later moving to Hamilton, and then Auckland. She also traveled to London and Italy where she was exposed to the Italian Renaissance masters.[2] She is primarily self-taught and became a full-time artist in 1980.[4]
