Mary Raymond Black was born in Naracoorte, South Australia in 1946. She successfully completed the four-year Fine Art Sculpture course in 1967 at the South Australian School of Art. She has held one-man exhibitions in sculpture, drawings in charcoal, pastels, pencil, and ink, acrylic paintings, and ceramics. She has also self-published a book, Girls Only, consisting of 54 fine-line pen and ink drawings of the female form. She has many physical drawings on ‘Saatchi.com’ and is currently working on digital abstracts. She has also created free standing recycled works in the form of papier-mâché, and textile wall and floor art pieces. With all these skills combined, she has drifted into a written illustrative narrative which centres around the ever-expanding family of floppy eared white rabbits, the first of which is Riddlington, and now following is the story of his son Aristotle. It doesn’t stop here of course, there are currently 12 in the series. Like recycled sculptures, one thing leads to another…and another…and another.

Riddlington
This story begins with Riddlington Rabbit wanting to see other things happening in a world outside the safe boundaries of his insular existence.
