After a career in dance and then in art production at Vanity Fair and GQ magazines, Mary Tooley Parker left New York City for a more rural environment. She then took a deep dive into her lifelong interest in textiles, eventually leading her to the American folk art of rug hooking. Parker's work has been exhibited internationally including New York, London, and Denmark and is held in public and private collections. She is honored to have been awarded NYSCA/NYFA fellowships in 2015 and 2024.

“I think we all feel the need to express our anger and disgust at the current administration in a physical way right now. I hope my piece will help to do just that. It contains 9 embroidered portraits of the Orange One and his cabinet members. The embroidered portraits are attached to a dartboard. There are also six darts.” - Mary Tooley Parker
