About Mary

b. 1969

"Her drawings possess a meditative quality, softly rendered and with subtle details, that express the character of her subjects." --Sonny Williams      To read the Quarter Horse News article featuring Mary, then click here.

Mary Ross Buchholz is passionate about her drawing.  A pioneering ranching family heritage has enabled Mary and her husband to raise their family in rural West Texas near the town of Eldorado.  Juggling the responsibilities of a ranching operation spread over several West Texas counties, raising three young boys and having a successful art career has been challenging.  Fortunately for Mary, much of her art arises from the family ranch. She takes great pride in portraying the people, the animals, and the environment of the West. 

Mary is a member of the Portrait Society of America, the Oil Painters of America, and is a signature member of the American Plains Artists.
