Mary Hiester Reid (Reading, Pennsylvania, 1854 - Toronto, 1921) was an American painter. During the 19th and early 20th century, at the time of her schooling, women were rarely allowed to pursue art as a career. If they attended art school, they were often not taught the same material as men. Although they both attended art school, Mary was restricted to traditionally feminine themes, and in turn became known for her flower paintings. Despite the expectations for women to remain at home and care for children, Mary rose to prominence and became one of the first women to have her work included into the National Gallery of Canada[Art Gallery of Ontario - Oil on canvas, 154.9 × 193.5 cm]
