By imagining obscure narratives that embrace paradoxes, Anne Buckwalter paintings delve into questions about the female body, intimacy, and gender roles.
Anne Buckwalter is an artist and local of Philadelphia. She explores female identity and the coexistence of contradictory elements. Inspired by the folk art traditions of her Pennsylvania Dutch heritage, her work arranges disparate objects in mysterious rooms and ambiguous spaces.

She has been an artist-in-residence at the Galveston Artist Residency, Vermont Studio Center, Hewnoaks Artist Colony, and Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity. Her exhibition history includes Rachel Uffner Gallery, New York, NY; Monya Rowe Gallery, New York, NY; Friends Indeed, San Francisco, CA; Portland Museum of Art, Portland, ME; Woodmere Art Museum, Philadelphia, PA; Boston University Gallery, Boston, MA; and others.
