John Budney, 59 years old, is an artist who likes to reminisce about the days he knew growing up on the East side of Buffalo. The people, places and events of his youth figure in his work, which encompasses a broad range of imagery and ideas. John's details with subjects such as trains and transportation, clowns and humor, landscape and atmospheric light is mirrored by his enthusiasm for trying new materials and methods. John enjoys the variety of media he has access to and this reflects in his pastel-work, scratch-art, printmaking and sculpture accomplishments.
