During an artist’s reception at Margaret Martin Gehman Gallery last week, Cyndi Gusler, professor of visual arts at EMU, transported guests to the shore with the vivid oil paintings and sculptures in her “Salt & Fury” exhibit.
According to an artist’s statement:
“Salt & Fury” is an evocative body of work that delves into the profound connection between environmental forces and psychological states, utilizing the dynamic coastline as a powerful metaphor for internal experiences of anger, grief, and transformation. This collection comprises oil paintings of fractured shorelines, envisioned not as traditional landscapes but as “impact zones” where human emotion confronts the boundaries of language, alongside abstract color works that surrender to pure sensation, embodying affect in raw, visceral form.
Gusler presented on her artwork at a sabbatical spotlight and opening reception on Tuesday, Oct. 28.

Gusler holds an MFA in painting and drawing. At EMU, she shares her love of immersion into these practices with her students.
