timothy buckwalter

Originally from Pennsylvania, Timothy Buckwalter (born 1966) now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. He graduated with honors from Philadelphia’s Tyler School of Art in 1988.

Though he holds a bachelors degree in sculpture (having studied under Annie Sprinkle, Dennis Adams, and Steven Beyer), Buckwalter is known primarily as a painter.

His work has been included in the Linz Biennale and exhibited nationally at De/Chiara Stewart Gallery in New York; Elizabeth Leach Gallery in Portland, Oregon; Rebecca Ibel Gallery in Columbus, Ohio; Pharmaka in Los Angeles; Lizabeth Olivera, Pro Arts, Oakland Art Gallery in Oakland; and Four Walls, Southern Exposure, The Luggage Store and Braunstein/Quay in San Francisco.

Buckwalter has also written extensively about fine art. In addition to his popular blog (where you are currently parked), he has penned features and reviews for San Francisco Chronicle, The East Bay Monthly and KQED.

Over the last five years, Buckwalter helped pioneer the curating of online exhibitions, including his own yearlong weekly drawing shows. Recently he guest curated a show -- based on Echo & The Bunnymen’s pop classic “Killing Moon” -- for The Beholder. He has also guest curated "Come Tomorrow - 25 Years of NIAD" for Eyebeam’s Add-Art project and "Feeling Yourself Disintegrate" for SFMOMA's OpenSpace.

"My Certain Fate" — a group show of more than 30 national and international artists at Pharmaka in Los Angeles in 2009 — was Timothy Buckwalter's first curatorial venture in the physical world.
