Mary Meyer is a sculptor and mixed media artist whose work utilizes systems of carved components that illustrate our innate connection with the natural world. Originally trained in stone carving, she is drawn to meditative processes and materials such as clay, wood, and metal that foster the intuitive exploration of form. Meyer grew up in the Midwestern US and has lived in Arizona for over 28 years. She holds a BFA in sculpture from Arizona State University where she studied foundry casting methods and metalworking. She completed her graduate studies at the University of Arizona, where she received the MFA Fellowship for her work with large mixed media installations. The artist has exhibited at the Phoenix Art Museum; Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum; Tucson Museum of Art; Tempe Center for the Arts; and FOMA Gallery Santa Fe, among others. Public collections include Sky Harbor International Airport Museum; Mesa Art Center; City of Tempe; and Royal Caribbean International. She is an alumni member of Phoenix artist collectives Eye Lounge Contemporary Artspace and MARS Artspace. She has served as an adjunct professor teaching sculpture and 3D Design at Arizona State University, Scottsdale Community College, and Chandler-Gilbert Community College. Mary Meyer is currently working on The Leaf Connection: a community art project and installation that will be exhibited at Phoenix’s Desert Botanical Garden in 2024. She lives and works in Gold Canyon, AZ, and has a studio at Cattle Track Arts Compound in Scottsdale.
