Mary Orrom Retrospective
April 21st - 6th June 2009
This exhibition celebrated the work of Mary Orrom, one of Buckinghamshire’s most distinguished and best-loved artists. Renowned throughout the county, her work has also been widely shown both nationally and internationally. Her sculpture uses a remarkable variety of means and materials to explore our physical and emotional relationship with the natural world and to interrogate the interdependence of all living things.
Mary Orrom has done a huge amount to promote the work of other artists in this area, not least with her activities concerning The Visual Images Group (Bucks Art Weeks), of which she was one of the first to take part. Mary has opened up her studio and garden each year to hundreds of visitors for Open Studios since then, and this has helped Great Missenden to be one the most important areas to visit during this time.
Mary has taught sculpture both At Missenden Abbey and at home in her own studio, where she has generously passed on many of her skills to her students.
