Mary Ross Buchholz

For 25 years, art has been Mary's devotion. Coming from a pioneering ranching family, she offers a glimpse of her daily ranch life through her paintings, sculptures, and charcoal and graphite drawings.

Mary relishes creating portraits of both human and animal subjects; she enjoys subtlety rendering the details, the different textures, and the individual characteristics of her subjects. It has been said that her award-winning drawings seem timeless and impart simplicity without distractions. She strives to captivate the viewer both up-close and from a distance.

 “I want my pieces to not only look real but feel real. I’m always mindful of the subject’s personality and hope each piece is portrayed with honesty and simplicity. I am blessed that what I enjoy drawing is right here, out my backdoor.”
