Buscemi

Ed worked over 20 years as a graphic designer before earning an MFA in 2002. He then began teaching art at a college level and continued through 2024.

Ed was primarily trained as a print maker and although he explores different ways of working, which include drawing, digital compositions and some attempts at painting, much of what he does reflects his background as a print maker.

Ed's creative methods are direct and improvisational. After his introduction to contemporary non-toxic methods of printmaking during his MFA studies, he found that many of these techniques suited his temperament better than traditional processes. Some of these include the use of gel plates, carborundum prints, dry point etchings, aluminum foil lithography and the use of laser cutters.

Besides fine art, Ed's creative interests include improvisational music and playing in a free jazz style. The example below is a soprano saxophone improvisation. Greg Herman is playing drums and Chuck Bianchi is playing bass.
