  • Amy Templeton Buckley
    By appointment only
    760-808-1086
    Inspired by her Kentucky childhood and ancestry dating back to Bourbon County in 1785, Amy Templeton Buckley's poetry and paintings seek to create a sense of community, of home: "A shared space: a community independent of time and place; concentric circles which feed us back to each other". Journal credits include The Adirondack Review, Free Verse Poetry Journal, Poetic License News, Poetic Voices and Steel Point Quarterly. Her paintings are in private collections in both Kentucky and California. Buckley works primarily in acrylics and mixed media collage - in subject matter ranging from urban isolation to the first flush of new love. Her work is available for purchase and she is also currently accepting commissions.
