About
Mary Buckman has been a sculptor since 1982, after having previously earned a collegiate degree in Fine Art and Sculpture. Her sculptures can be found in collections throughout the United States and Europe.
Ms. Buckman has formally shown her work throughout California and has received many awards and honorariums. She has successfully installed several public art works, commissioned by the City of San Diego, the City of Santee, California, City of La Jolla, California, and the City of East Lansing, Michigan.
Buckman has recently completed two larger than lifesize figures cast in bronze for the Pierre Toussaint Teen Center in San Diego, California and four lifesize bronze figures for the Mission Federal Credit Union in Escondido, California, and a lifesize bronze figure for the city of East Lansing, Michigan.
Currently, Ms. Buckman is working on a commission sculpting portraits of the nine Supreme Court Justices for the California Western School of Law. The third of nine of these bronzes has been completed. Many of her sculptures are in collections throughout the United States and Europe.
Because of her interest in the human form, much of her work is figurative and lifesize. Clay and bronze are the mediums she prefers to work with while she concentrates on the human form as a vehicle to express her feelings about nature and the human condition.
Ms. Buckmans' work is now being shown at the Alcala Gallery in La Jolla, at the Pear Tree Studios in San Diego, and at the Sculptors' Guild in Balboa Park, San Diego, California where she gives classes in figurative sculpture and has served as president for five years.
