Mary Farl Powers (1948-1992) was born in Minnesota in the United States and much of her early years were spent moving between there and Ireland before she finally made Dublin her home in the 1970s. Powers studied at the Dun Laoghaire School of Art and the National College of Art and Design before joining the Graphic Studio, Dublin, in 1973. Her rapid mastery of various printmaking techniques allowed her to develop an extensive body of print work which also incorporated cast paper and paper sculpture. Powers was instrumental in establishing the Graphic Studio Gallery in 1983. She was a founding member of Aosdána and served as a director of the Graphic Studio for many years.
