The International Home Show is pleased to present Mary Dobson. Mary Dobson is widely recognized as Canada’s leading expert in fabric and window covering design and perhaps best known for her almost twenty years as the resident “material girl” on Citytv’s popular CityLine national lifestyle program.
Mary’s degree in textiles and business, a Bachelors in Home Economics from Mount Saint Vincent University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, combined with many years of hands-on experience in the custom drapery field, gives her a unique understanding of the industry and of consumer needs. Mary appears twice monthly on CityLine, providing practical advice and creative inspiration for the show’s legion of loyal viewers, from coast to coast. Over the years she has contributed key ideas and demonstrated creative use of fabrics in a number of best-selling home decor books, as well as in most of Canada’s top home décor magazines.
Mary has also traveled extensively across North America where her friendly, outgoing style and familiarity with consumer concerns make her a popular speaker at Home Shows, seminars and workshops. Mary is currently Professor, Interior Decorating at Georgian College in Barrie, Ontario.
