Born and raised in South-eastern Indiana, Malory is thankful for her time spent among the wild plants and animals of her country home. Trained as an Ecologist, Malory holds two Bachelor degrees in Zoology and Environmental Science and a Masters of Science of Biology. She studied the collaborative adaptations of desert species and has several published papers in peer-reviewed journals (a couple of which she is the first author on). But after all her time spent watching the natural world, she couldn't help but reflect upon her observations using her favorite medium, glass. Initially a hobby she started as a self-congratulations upon finishing her Masters Degree, Malory began sharing her work with clients and pursuing commissioned work as an artist. Now living in back in her home state of Bloomington, Indiana, she spends her days working on her art and parenting her pets Lemon, Chickpea, & Mako.
