Meet the Artist – Connie Frisch-Cherniak
NaPali Coast, Kauai by Connie Frisch-Cherniak

In the first of a new initiative by the Office of the Vice Provost, a student panel will interview Connie Frisch-Cherniak on her background and how she became interested in the arts, especially photography.  She will discuss the inspiration behind a collection of her photographs entitled”Wish You Were Here.”  These photos capture her love of nature and “create a sense of calm, in an often chaotic world.”  They will be on exhibit in the Loretto Memorial Library through the end of the semester.

Connie Frisch-Cherniak is an Adjunct Associate Professor of Art in St. John’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences on the Staten Island Campus.  She earned a Bachelors of Science in Visual Arts Degree from the University of Wisconsin and a Master of Fine Arts Degree from the Mason Gross School of the Arts – Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ.  Her work has been displayed in numerous solo and group exhibitions - locally and internationally.  She is a member of various professional organizations including the Creative Photographers Guild, a non-profit professional photography organization located at 814 Richmond Terrace on Staten Island, which believes strongly in giving back to the community by hosting photography workshops and exhibitions.
