Cheryl Agulnick Hochberg is a New Jersey-based painter and printmaker. Her projects explore the idea of “place”.  She begins her projects by spending extensive time in locations where -at first- she is a stranger, and where people, ecology, landscape, and wildlife are all unfamiliar. By walking and exploring - but also through conversation and study – she gathers material that becomes her creative content. In the studio, she works in formats ranging from painting and printmaking to installation and public art. By way of these approaches, she strives to give voice to the land, and to represent the particular sensibility of each location. 

Cheryl’s recent work has been generously supported by Artist Residency opportunities that allow her to work on site and to explore efficiently. In recent years (since 2016), she has worked at Ucross and Jentel Arts in Wyoming, Play Summerlake in Oregon, Guttenberg Arts in New Jersey, and the Guanlan Original Printmaking Base in Shenzhen, China. In the summer of 2024, she will be a resident at the Ratamo Center for Printmaking and Photography in Jyvaskyla, Finland.

Particularly well-known for her printmaking, Cheryl has exhibited her relief prints both nationally and internationally. In the US, her work has been included in exhibitions at Manhattan Graphics (NYC), the Brinton Museum (Wyoming), the Oso Bay Juried Print Exhibition of the Americas (Texas), and the Lux Centre for the Arts (Nebraska). Outside the US, her prints were included in the 3rd International Print Biennial in Yerevan, Armenia, in the Wuhan Biennial (China), and in several exhibitions at the China Printmaking Museum (Shenzhen, China).
