An inveterate traveller, Mary Georgina Barton was born in Dundalk and studied art at the Westminster School, London,1895-1898. She financed her many overseas trips by teaching, both at home and abroad, and painting 'exotic' landscapes and genre pictures in India, Canada, France, Spain, Portugal and Mexico, producing a lively illustrated account of her journey through the latter, published as Impressions of Mexico (1911). Hugh Lane showed two of her pictures at his exhibition of Irish painters in the Guildhall London in 1904. She exhibited extensively at the WCSI and the SWA of which she was elected a full member in 1911, as well as showing at the Fine Arts Society, London and the Paris Salon among others. Examples of her work are hung in the Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery, Dublin.
