Buhl has been the recipient of various awards including a Windgate Fellowship.

Ainsley's work addresses cultural ideas of functionality, formal and historical concepts and techniques of art, and gender related aesthetics. Using performance and ritualistic processes, Ainsley showcases costumes, installations and sculptures as colorful and quirky artifacts to demonstrate the metaphor of identity construction and the material saturation of contemporary everyday life. Buhl offers a fresh look on the interactivity of the “art” object.

Some of her artistry abilities include: ageing, dyeing, acrylic painting, sewing, mold making, woodworking, metal working (welding/forging), jewelry making, programming, etc.
