CHERYL BUSICK | STUDIO 315

I was 12 years old, on the darker side of the 1970’s when I was tapped for the New York State pilot program for the gifted and talented. I was given a mentor and allowed to explore in-depth all the arts provided in the Jr and Sr High school.

After high school I met with mostly disappointing experiences in pursuing the fine arts so I kept what talents I had in my back pocket, taking them out occasionally and adding skills whenever possible all while living a pretty full life.

Now my life is not so full and I feel free to devote an honest effort in being an artist.I have a working studio, The Angry Couch Club Studio, and retail shop on the quiet third floor here at Lowe Mill A&E.

I have found a deep respect for printmaking. A great deal of focus and discipline are required for traditional print editions - I try to do that occasionally. The rest of the time I like playing with an image and seeing what variables can enhance or improve it using skills from other methods and mediums. Some things work, some do not but it’s fun to be able to work the ideas out.
