As a commissioned muralist for hire in San Francisco, Buckley's work spans hand-painted murals, stained glass, mosaic, bas-relief, and wood marquetry. San Francisco's culture of innovation and civic investment in public art makes it one of the most rewarding cities to work in. Whether it's a tech campus mural in SoMa, a hospitality artwork for a Hayes Valley hotel, a restaurant commission in the Mission, or a large-scale civic installation, every project receives 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.
