Tamara Buchanan is a sculptor of stone. She sculpts in granite, marble, limestone and sandstone. Preferring to work with organic forms, her sculptures may be either representational or abstract. Her work ranges from large scale to pieces small enough to hold in one's hand.
Very popular are her individually carved stepping stones. The stepping stones show whimsical representative figures of ravens, dragonflies, hummingbirds, bears, rabbits, lizards, salmon, turtles, or cats.
Since 1989, Tamara has participated in many juried, non-juried, and invitational shows where her work has won several awards. A graduate of the University of Washington, she studied sculpture with Lorraine Ledbetter of Vashon Island, WA and with George Pratt of Vancouver, BC. Her skills were further advanced in the studios of Silverio Paoli in Pietrasanta, Italy and Mauro Berretini of Siena, Italy. She participates at each annual International Stone Sculptor's Symposium.
