Mary Jones, although born in Montana, grew up in Southern California. Her love of the ocean and California's beach life have been a source of inspiration for Mermaid Jean And Her Store At The Mall. Days spent at the beach playing in the surf, collecting shells, swimming in the ocean, and going on boating adventures are things that she loves to do. She has a B.A. in Art History from UC Riverside.
"There's nothing like a day at the beach, a swim in the salty waves, seashells, sand and a campfire at night to roast marshmallows by, while wearing your favorite pair of jeans."
