Nancy Busch is an artist who creates plastic and moving images. She received an MFA from Wayne State University in Detroit mid-career after working  20 years in advertising.  Her academic training also included a BA in Journalism from the University of Michigan in 1967 followed by post-graduate painting studies at the Center for Creative Studies and the University of Michigan , as well as, practical and historical film studies in New York and Chapel Hill, NC,  at NYU, New School, School for Visual Arts, Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University and the University of North Carolina.

 

Born in the United States she has spent most of her adult life traveling extensively throughout the world and over a decade living in Latin America.  She knows about negotiating opposites and the fluid reality of dissolving borders. In “conjoining polarities”* her work is about the tension created when opposites are juxtaposed…”fixed and mutable, hard and soft, geometric and organic”*

 

Her work has been exposed in the United States and Latin America and is represented in many private and public collections including The Museum of Modern Art and Smithsonian Archives, The Museo Jacobo Borges and The Aco Corporation (Caracas, Venezuela). Museo de Arte Contemporaneo  and Universidad de Los Andes (Bogota, Colombia)

 

Currently she lives and works in Sarasota Florida and New York City.
