Sadie Buckner (b. 2002) is an artist based in Vallejo, CA. Her paintings, drawings, and constructed magazines weave together densely layered fields of color, pop culture references, and reflections from her own lived experience. Allusions to Ugly Betty, Gwen Stefani, Clueless, and Martin Luther King Jr. appear alongside capitalized lists and notes-to-self, such as “Pain And Girl Power,” “Relaxation, Hygiene, Doubt, And The Rest,” or “Goofy Feelings, Silly Feelings, And The Rest.”
Since 2024, Sadie has been making art at The Arc-Solano, a center supporting adults with developmental differences and their families in Vallejo, CA. She lives with her sister, mother, step-mother, and grandma. Sadie likes to blog about fashion and beauty, and she dreams of becoming an editor at Vogue. Sadie’s work has been exhibited in Open Invitational Art Fair (San Francisco), Good Grub, curated by Alix Sivollela at Village (Vallejo), Riverbank, curated by Gavin Piedra at the Vallejo Public Library, the Solano County Fair, and Party of Your Imagination at the Benicia Public Library. A selection of Sadie’s drawings were included in the 2026 Outsider Art Fair, presented by Open Studio Gallery in New York City. Doubts and Feelings was published on the occasion of the exhibition, Glyph, at Personal Space in the spring of 2026.
Special thanks to Sadie and her family, and to Michael Davey and the wonderful people at The Arc-Solano.
