She was an early member of the B.C. Society of Fine Arts, exhibiting in the society's annual shows from 1912 to 1924. She was listed as a member in the exhibition catalogues from at least 1917 until 1927. The 1928 catalogue has not yet been viewed, but she is not listed in the 1929 annual exhibition catalogue as a member.
B.C. on-line Vital Statistics notes that Mary Irene Stoddard married George Ormond Canibir in Vancouver on August 8 1917. His name is given incorrectly, it should be Cambie.
Stoddart's death certificate notes that she came to BC c1924, which doesn't match either her marriage date or exhibition dates. She was living on Gambier Island at the time of her death, pre-deceased by her husband, her occupation noted as "At home - housewife."

""Snap," by Mary I. Stoddard,
shows a very-much alive little dog in a basket, his one visible eye full of interested speculation
about something too far off to get in the picture. It is a very able animal study."
