Wilmington, NC
The Wilmington, NC based artist, Maria Buchanan, is fascinated by form, shape and color. Studying Studio Art at the University of North Carolina Wilmington has allowed her to work with a vast array of materials and techniques. Working within surrealism and abstraction, Maria express themes of social change, growth, femininity, and evolution. Maria’s work is inspired by anxieties that humans may feel about the world. She explores these concepts through natural forms including the human body, insects and plant life. Her work attempts to make viewers think differently about humanity and society. She often works with a variety of materials. She specializes in sculpture, fiber arts, beadwork, and printmaking.
Maria has participated in many exhibitions in the coastal town of Wilmington. She is a member of the New Artist Collective. You can find a sculpture that she designed at the Office of the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences on the UNCW campus.
