Andrea Borsuk
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Andrea Borsuk is a local artist whose work explores the notions of time and destiny. A self-described storyteller, she tries “to allow the viewer to ‘walk’ through [her] work as if they are walking in some landscape or timeline of life.” She states, “I am inspired by the natural world, by popular culture and by beautiful things. I love how everything changes: the light, the time of day, our physical selves. I feel lucky everyday and my work speaks about the necessity of luck and good fortune to be able to live a life and watch how things change. I usually find images in the newspaper that speak to me about human interaction and our moment in time."
Borsuk holds an MFA from Columbia University and a BA from UC Santa Cruz. She is an Art instructor at Cabrillo College and a visiting lecturer at the Oregon College of Art and Craft in Portland, Oregon, as well as the 2010/2011 recipient of the Rydell Visual Arts Fellowship. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions nationwide at museums and galleries including: the Riverside Museum of Art, the Nevada Museum of Art, Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History, Monterey Peninsula Community College Art Gallery, the Sanchez Art Center, and the San Jose Institute for Contemporary Art. Her work is also held in numerous private collections.
