Anne Marie Buckman


Anne's Work

Anne Marie says - My work depicts life today with its fast pace,
uncertainties and seeming disorder. I add sufficient stabilizing structure to provide the balance that is necessary in life. The balance between structure and uncertainty is acheived through the use of the vibrancy of color, the interest of texture and the stability of form.
