A long time fixture in the local arts scene, Michael Husted of Owego is a painter, sculptor, and a Master Bench Jeweler. Many know him as the jewelry designer at Van Horn Jewelers in Owego.
Husted feels that the creative process in designing and building custom jewelry is enhanced by his interest in the other art forms. The freedom allowed in making art for the sheer pleasure of it is a nice counter balance to the demanding precision required by commercial jewelry making.
The paintings in this new show at Gallery 41 are recent efforts that are examples of his interest in creating works that explore non-representative images that are evocative and might stir interest from the viewers.
