Cheryl Beychok A trip to Paris in 1986 inspired me to study sculpture. Since that time I have studied with Don Gale, Terry O'Donnell (El Camino College), Martine Vaugel (1 month course in the Loire Valley) and currently with Robert Cunningham Studio in Culver City. Seeking to capture the poetry of anatomy, in the words of Michaelangelo, "I am still learning."
"Blue City" is my first Chapbook based upon my experiences in Cuba. |

As for education, let's just say too many credits and not enough degrees. For me, it's easier to hide behind several different pseudonyms--not out of fear, but because of the slightly different types of expression they engender. I've travelled most of the western U.S. and Europe (sometimes even living off the proceeds of performing poetry). In short, I'm an arrogant asshole with a lot of friends and more talent than I deserve." |
