Scherley Busch's one woman art show

The Coconut Grove Arts Festival Gallery will present its latest exhibition, “Keeping it Real - Eco Abstractions” – a one woman show by internationally recognized South Florida fine arts photographer Scherley Busch (left). The exhibit premiers at the opening party on Saturday, February 5 during Gallery Walk night from 7 to 10 pm.

Scherley departs from her noted figurative imagery and breaks out of the confines of what is considered traditional fine art nature and landscape photography to engage in real world issues. The exhibit bridges the gap between art and life by raising awareness and appreciation for our natural resources in all its “abstractions.”

Exhibiting intimate and fresh color photographic compositions, Scherley uses her camera to “paint with light” as lush tropical tones play against geometric angles and sinuous curves. She also uses Florida’s searing sunlight and sensual geography as her color palette. Her unique vision will be accompanied by hi-tech meditation videos that embrace nature’s subtle rhythms and allow viewers the ability to transcend nature’s beauty.

“It’s all right in front of us,” she said. “It’s just finding the time to appreciate the all encompassing spirit of that which surrounds us. Art has the ability to help us become aware and to reconnect to the mystery and beauty of nature.”

Scherley’s work can be found in museums and galleries, as well as highly recognized collections, both private and public. She is recognized for her historical portrait documentary Florida Women of Achievement and infrared Miami Dreamscapes series – which can be found at Miami International Airport and other prominent national key sites. Her professional photography encompasses advertising and editorial clients in major corporations and publications.

The exhibition runs through March 21. The Coconut Grove Arts Festival Gallery is located in the Shoppes at Mayfair (3390 Mary Street, Suite 128).

Scherley Busch will conduct a “Meet the Artist at the Gallery” during the Coconut Grove Arts Festival, President’s Day Weekend, February 19 – 21, from 10 am – 6 pm.
