Buell Mullen (1901-1986) was a muralist and portrait painter active in New York City and Chicago, Illinois. She was a groundbreaking muralist who developed a process for painting on metal, including stainless steel, aluminum, chromium, copper and gold. The metal method was evolved through eight years of rigorous experimentation. Using a surface prepared by etching and acid, she learned how to accomplish a sound union between the metals and oil paints.
Mullen’s murals can be found in numerous corporations, banks, universities and government buildings across the U.S.
Buell Mullen was born in Chicago and studied at the Royal Academy in London, via Margutta, Rome. Took private lessons in drawing with Lipinsky, portraiture with Petrucci and Cucquier of Belgium. She exhibited at the Salon, Gruppo Moderno, Chicago Art Institute, All-Illinois Society of Fine Arts, No-Jury, Arts Club, Evanston Women's Club, Highland Park Women's Club, Chicago Artists and North Shore Art League. She donated her papers to The Smithsonian Archives of American Art in 1982.
