WELCOME to sherylbudnik.com

If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.
Its substance reaches everywhere, our own life is a liquid brew.
Its common manifestations lake, ocean and sea have been painted
by prominent predecessors such as Monet, Mondrian and Ryder -
and continues today with artists like April Gornik, Jane Wilson,
and Michael Mazur.

Scraping up unmixed oil pigments with a palette knife, I intuitively
build an oily paint skin, and strive for a visual flash-point. Reaching
for unknown spaces of the spirit, I wait for a paint surface that breaks with color, movement and light. The ocean and Great Lakes are essential for my work, but I eschew the photograph.

My latest paintings are in portfolios Water 1, 2, and 3.
