Janelle Lynch: Day 5: BPAC Artist-in-Residence Visit #1 April 14, 2013

Throughout her year as Burchfield artist-in-residence, Janelle Lynch will share her thoughts and impressions with us as we share her journey into the spirit and work of Charles Burchfield.

My last day of my first AIR visit began in the BPAC board room with a group of CEB enthusiasts. We gathered for a tour of CEB's Buffalo City Sites, led by curator Nancy Weekly. Tony introduced me as a "zealot."

I was in good company. Nancy gave a historical overview of CEB's life and the houses and structures that were important to him, including the Cyclorama Building at Pearl and Edward Streets, built in 1888. 

Janelle Lynch is the 2013 Burchfield resident artist. She has garnered international recognition over the last decade for her large-format photographs of the urban and rural landscape. Widely exhibited, her work is in several public and private collections including the Burchfield Penney, George Eastman House Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the Newark Museum, the Fundación Vila Casas, Barcelona, and the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo, Salta, Argentina.
