Areta Buk is a Brooklyn-based artist working in painting, drawing, watercolor, ink, printmaking, and installation, based in the Gowanus neighborhood. Her work explores themes of healing and regeneration through personal mythology and symbols drawn from the natural world and ritual art, made intuitively: loose marks build into intricate patterns and textures through repeated handling and layering, considering the transformative capacity of mark making. She holds a BFA from the Philadelphia College of Art and studied at Robert Blackburn's Printmaking Workshop, a noted New York printmaking studio, and has been included in Brooklyn's Gowanus arts community listings.
