Sister Margaret Mear is a tenured Professor of Art and Design at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota.
Her main artistic areas of interests are sculpture and drawing using the expressive image of the horse as a metaphor for human concerns. In sculpture she uses both cast and welded metal which she often combines with cast or applied polymers. She mainly uses pencil or charcoal for her drawings, which are done as finished works or as studies for sculpture. Her work is represented on campus with commissioned cast bronze portrait busts, a welded horse sculpture and by the sculpture on the Memorial Plaza.
