Many New York City artists are still dealing with the shock of what Superstorm Sandy left in its path: unusable studios and homes, destroyed tools and materials, unsalvageable artworks. But others, including Gauld, are discovering a new energy and renewed creativity in its wake.

The "After Affects" exhibition, featuring 36 storm-inspired works by 23 artists, opens Feb. 8 at the Chashama gallery in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City. The show is curated by the New York Foundation for the Arts, which is assisting artists whose livelihoods suffered storm losses. Many studios and galleries were in waterfront warehouse areas that suffered some of the worst damage from Superstorm Sandy. (AP)
