Cheryl Busick – Heads or Tales

This exhibition round includes works provided by Cheryl Busick which will be on view in the Second Floor Connector Gallery from September 2 – November 21, 2026.  Lowe Mill A&E invites patrons and art lovers to join us for Open Studio Night, a building-wide experience when our over 150 studios will be open to the public.  The evening also includes receptions for all seven of our gallery spaces. This series gives the public a chance to meet and interact with visiting artists and discuss their work as it is on display and available for purchase. Come out, enjoy a pleasant evening, and maybe you’ll find that special piece of art that speaks to you!  The Open Studio Night reception is Saturday, November 21 from 5-7 pm.

 

About the exhibit:

Heads or Tales: I am a lucky old hag who gets to play and explore with things I love. Heads- instead of printmaking variations this series takes one basic cardboard form base to make Creature from the Black Lagoon inspired masks. Tales- I really love a good story or tale. Books, movies, even one old saying and a silly meme found their way into a relief print for this work. I decide to show side by side a print and then a print with lots of bells and whistles… mostly glue and paint. Sometimes I like the print and sometimes the variation. A linoleum print that hopefully captures a favorite moment from stories that have stuck with me.

About the artist:

Early on, I was assigned a mentor with the pilot program for the Gifted and talented for Art. It was wonderful. Over the years I’ve taken classes and workshops in many areas of art, and decided printmaking was my favorite. Joined a printmaking collective at Lowe Mill A&E – and that was a big turning point for me, leading to a studio on the 3rd floor. I love the discipline and structure of Printmaking. Taking an image and varying it satisfies the artist in me.  Lowe Mill A&E and fellow tenants have been an instrumental influence helping me grow and continue to learn .
