Mary Buckman’s sculpture entitled “Ancestor” has been selected for the 75th Annual National Sculpture Society Exhibition.
“Ancestor” represents our relatives from the distant past and how human beings are connected to each other. The circular shape of the relief depicts eternity, no beginning or end.
Mary Buckman’s “Ancestor” piece will be on view at National Sculpture Society’s headquarters at the Park Avenue Atrium in New York City from February 18 - May 30, 2008 before it travels to Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina from June 28 - August 24, 2008.
Mary Buckman sculpture honors Pete Wilson

A statue of former San Diego mayor Pete Wilson, created by sculptor Mary Buckman, was unveiled on the grounds of an office building near Horton Plaza. An audience of 500 well-wishers lifted cups of champagne to honor the former mayor.
“View this statue, as I will, as a surrogate recipient of the tribute that’s deserved by all of you who shared the dream, who made it come true, and gave all the proud neighborhoods of San Diego the vibrant heart they needed,” Wilson said.
The bronze statue shows a younger Wilson smiling. More than 200 private donors contributed $200,000 to pay for the likeness.
