Rebecca Buck
I am a Sculptor working in Clay , from New York,USA,with 30 years experience , making Abstract, Figurative and Wild-life Sculpture for all kinds of settings; Home,garden,Gallery,Public and Memorial.
I've travelled a fair bit and had the good fortune to move to Wales 14 years ago.
Here I've become very involved in Valley History and making Pit-Marker Memorials and Public Sculptures with groups of extraordinary local people. These are intense collaborations where we collect the stories that define the area and put them into warm, strong brick-clay to be shared for generations.Working closely together is fabulous - we push each other and the medium to achieve sculpture that none of us could have done alone.
I welcome Commissions . It is a great challenge and honour to learn another's view-point and find the way to express it for them using a beautiful material that will last forever.
The Public Sculptures cost in the region of £1200-£30,000. Sculpture for homes, gardens and Grave Memorials generally from £600 to £2000.
You are very welcome to visit the Studio to see new work in progress. There are often 'Seconds' available .Phone 01639 731271 / 07913743457 for a convenient appointment.
