Artist Statement:
I am a local photographer focusing on birds, wildlife and nature. We are blessed to be surrounded by amazing natural beauty here in Massachusetts, and I love to capture and share the sights I see.

I took up photography 4 years ago and use Nikon equipment (z5, 180x600mm, 1.4x TC).
Nature photography is the ultimate blend of planning, patience, technical and artistic skill (and exercise). Hope you come by to see my photos and to talk about photography and your favorite spots to see nature.

“Shared Realities”
a collection of works by Artist Kerry W. Buckley

Artist’s Statement
My lifelong passion for painting and drawing became a full-time obsession when I retired from academic life in 2013. I look upon art as more of a craft. For me, the work itself is a form of meditation. It is a creative process that absorbs the heart and hand. My landscapes tend to reflect seasonal changes on the outer cape from the brooding tranquility of an autumn afternoon to the off-season, when the bones of the landscape are laid bare. There is a quiet dignity to these empty places. They are unoccupied but not abandoned. They lie in wait for the next cycle to begin. I am drawn to liminal spaces, a portal to somewhere else. I do not try to capture reality, but a mood, the fleeting light of a solitary moment. My still life paintings explore the rituals that give meaning to the random contingencies of life or the ambiguous innocence of childhoods past. There is a whimsical wistfulness about these mementos that evoke a lost time of wonder and delight. I seek to engage the viewer with a shared human emotion and a slice of lived experience preserved from the relentless flow of time.
About the Artist

As a student, Kerry W. Buckley won several statewide art competitions and initially considered a degree in fine art. He was offered, but declined, an art scholarship choosing to become an historian specializing in American History. Throughout his academic career he continued to draw and paint. While living in western Massachusetts he developed friendships with regional neorealist artists Scott Prior, Randal Deihl and Jane Lund whose vision and techniques inspired his work. Since his retirement from academic life, he has studied portraiture and painting at the Guild Art Center in Northampton, MA, classical painting technique with Barbara Johnson, and indirect painting techniques with Julie Beck at the Academy for Realist Art. He is a Professional Artist member of the Copley Society of Art in Boston and is a Master Artist member of the Cape Cod Art Center. His work has been featured in competitive shows throughout New England and has received awards in national and regional shows.

Traces
2025-11-09 - 2026-02-08 | The Art Complex Museum, 189 Alden Street, Duxbury, 02332, United States
Kitty Wales: Traces
November 9 – February 8, 2026
Reception: November 9, 2025, 1:00 – 4:00 pm

Domestic table settings, disassembled furniture and recycled wood are the building blocks of these narrative assemblages. They contain memories that morph over time shifting in and out of the original thread, leaving traces of the past.
This subject matter began in 2019 after studying Mesoamerican codices on a visit to the Anthropology Museum in Mexico City. As painted manuscripts, they document bloodlines, history, science, and sacred rituals of Mayan and Aztec rulers. Within tight frameworks, these colorful pictorial languages are activated by symbols and characters. I loosely borrowed that format of recorded history to build beginning stages into storied landscapes.
Discarded objects have always been materials of choice in my work, making use of what we leave behind. Within each wall construction are fabricated household objects serving as historical icons, reanimating the memories they retain. Altered purposely in their construction, these crockeries and vessels still represent potential utility and purpose despite their misshapen appearance.
Each piece in this series evolves through the process of making and
experimenting, as I build up multiple layers of color and texture with mixed media and paper pulp. Some of these layers are visible while others are buried, erased, or altered to mimic the shifting nature of narrative memory.
