Mary Purser, 1913 - 1986 was an American painter. She is best known for her New Deal-era mural in the Clarksville, Arkansas Post Office. She attended the Art Institute of Chicago, earned a B.A. from the University of Mississippi and an MFA from the University of Florida, and taught at the University of Chatanooga. In 1939 Purser completed the oil-on-canvas mural How Happy Was the Occasion for the Clarksville, Arkansas Post Office. This landscape painting featuring highly stylized and colorful trees, clouds and mountains was completed in the early 1960s during her tenure in Louisiana.
