Born in California in 1961, Mary Tuma began sewing and crocheting with her mother at an early age. Her love of these processes led her to begin her formal study of art as an apprentice at Beautiful Arts Hall in Kerdassa, Egypt, where she learned to weave tapestries. Later, she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Costume and Textile Design from the University of California at Davis and then went on to study women’s fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. In 1994, she earned a Master's of Fine Arts degree from the University of Arizona.
