RocknW Art Studio

Sharon Wysocki was born in Detroit, MI. It wasn’t until a move to Flint ignited her artistic vision. She was one of the artists in the Buckham Fine Arts movement which included filmmaker, Michael Moore. These artists were similar to the artists on the cutting edge in Detroit’s Cass Corridor art movement.
Wysocki became known for work collage and mixed media pieces. Her art pieces were made from discarded covers of books, pages from coloring books, vintage literature illustrations, carnival chalk ware, bullets and other found objections. She had exhibited her work in numerous galleries in Flint, Detroit and Ann Arbor including Cranbrook Museum of Art and the Kresge Art Museum.
Wysocki is most famously known for her 1996 touring exhibition, Banned Books as Art. The art pieces in this exhibition were made of oils, found objects, discarded covers literature books that have been banned.
Wysocki’s Banned Books as Art exhibition was ironically banned in Independence, MO. This incident lead to media coverage in USA Today, MTV News and a spoof on Saturday Night Live.
Wysocki now resides in Tucson, AZ.
