She married Henry Hoare (of Stourhead) in 1765 and exhibited works in the Society of Artists of Great Britain and the Free Society of Artists between 1761 and 1764 . Some of Mary Hoare's pastels of genre scenes or female portraits are owned by the National Trust and are now in the Stourhead Painting Collection.

Many of her works known today deal with scenes from Shakespeare's dramas. These images are in the Yale Center of British Art .
