From Old City and Fishtown to Center City, Northern Liberties, University City, and beyond, Buckley brings site-specific murals and architectural artworks to Philadelphia's most ambitious civic, commercial, and cultural spaces.
As a commissioned muralist for hire in Philadelphia, Buckley's work spans hand-painted murals, stained glass, mosaic, bas-relief, and wood marquetry. Philadelphia has one of the richest traditions of public mural art of any city in America — and one of the most active civic arts funding programs in the country. Buckley's practice is built to contribute meaningfully to that tradition. Whether it's a civic commission in Old City, a hospitality artwork in Fishtown, a corporate mural in Center City, or a university commission in West Philadelphia, every project is executed with the same level of craft and vision.
While hand-painted murals are Buckley's entry point, they are not her final destination. Buckley creates commissioned artworks in a range of mediums — each selected to best serve the intentions of the space.
Buckley's practice combines artistic concept and design leadership with a trusted network of fabricators, each chosen for their mastery of a specific material. Every architectural art commission — from stained glass to mosaic to bas-relief — is executed in deep collaboration with specialist craftspeople who have generations of experience in their medium.
