Mary Paulsen

Mary's Gone Wild is an 11-minute documentary film, and portrait of North Carolina visionary folk artist Mary Paulsen, and her Folk Art Garden & Doll Baby Museum to Help Feed Hungry Children. Located off Holden Beach Rd in Holden Beach, NC, Mary has recycled TONS of her neighbors TRASH into TONS of ART, and she has helped to FEED THOUSANDS of HUNGRY CHILDREN in the process.

In 1996, GOD told MARY to go in her garden and start building, and 11-years later she has built a small, magical village for all to explore. Mary's paintings on the reverse side of old windows are selling before the paint dries. If you buy a piece of Mary's art, you become a part of the PROCESS that is recycling trash & helping to feed hungry children. Take a roadtrip to Mary's Garden!
