Mallory Hurley is a Catholic artist living and working in the City of Pittsburgh. She is the wife of a Pittsburgh firefighter and the mother of four children.

As an artist, Mallory  enjoys exploring her faith through making, and finds that co-creating with God allows her to slow down and contemplate thevastness of our own Creator. She has found that when words fail her, art has helped her understand her faith and draw her closer to God.

Mallory is also learning to recognize through her vocation as wife and mother how God is calling her back to Himself moment by moment during the long days and short years of raising her children with her husband, Ed. Mallory feels that artwork has given her a beautiful outlet to be able to grow in virtue through the example of the Blessed Mother. Her favorite aspect of making art is that there is freedom in letting go, realizing that she does not have all the answers. Paintings work out themselves through trust. She is realizing that this same surrender to God in trust is crucial in her daily family life.
