Mary Buchanan Bailey is one of the few serious social commentary arts workers in Tasmania. Since the 1980s she has been exhibiting highly individualised art works and short stories on women, individuals and groups marginalised by society.
Her ceramics and artworks have been shown in numerous group and joint shows, seven solo exhibitions and two touring exhibitions. Her work is represented in private collections in Australia, Japan, Canada, the United States and New Zealand.
Her visual and literary work frequently uses her contemporary social world as a metaphor for the complexities of human relationships. However some of her work is more immediate and autobiographical, reflecting self portraiture within an essay approach.
The major medium currently used by the artist is form of mono-print on a variety of papers mounted on canvas. These are overpainted mainly using water colours. Some works involve collage, gouache, acrylic and oils.
The artist lives and works in Lauderdale Tasmania.
