Shawna Ryan, a NY1 News reporter, has a personal web vlog called NYC Loves... where she informally interviews Cynthia von Buhler in an utterly charming style that would never be allowed on NY1. You can watch the clip below.

Come to St. George this weekend:

The new SHOW gallery will open its doors for the first time on Friday night, June 13th, at 8PM. Join us for the gallery sign illumination ceremony and an art preview. 8PM - 10PM. The new sign will be lighted at 9PM. Champagne will flow freely.

The preview will feature paintings by Lazarus Nazario and sculptures by Cynthia von Buhler.

SHOW will be a place for all the arts. Aside from exhibits of visual art, SHOW will present performances as well as demonstrations, workshops, when it will become HOW, as we turn off the S in the sign.

Cynthia von Buhler on NBC News

Cynthia von Buhler was interviewed by NBC's Gabe Pressman about being an artist on Staten Island and how more artists are finding out that Staten Island is a unique place to live and work. A couple of von Buhler's paintings were featured in the clip. Gallery 6 and Staten Island painter Jenny Tango were also featured and interviewed. This clip focused on the artists who were the first to come and have been here for a long time and how they paved the way for the new crop of younger artists like Cynthia.

The clip aired on the March 18th 11PM news, Channel 4 (Tri-state area: NY, CT, NJ). It will also appear on some digital affiliates.
