ABOUT THE ARTIST:

After graduating with a Master of Fine Arts in printmaking from Rhode Island School of Design and joining the Experimental Etching Studio in Boston, Susan built a reputation creating many-layered intaglios and monoprints that were shown and collected internationally. Teaching 2-D design, drawing and printmaking at Brown University, Framingham State College and The Maine College of Art, she eventually moved to Vermont in 1992 where along with raising a family, she supports herself full-time with the sale of her work.

Changing mediums from printmaking to watercolor at the time of this move, Susan expanded her use of color, but brought the complex development of intaglio to this unforgiving process. The layering of watercolor in a variety of swirling, painterly strokes of pigment is so unique that, to a person, all who have seen the paintings have stated that they have never seen anything like them! This technique enables Susan to describe her fascination of biology with a connection to the spirit of the land, portraying the essential nature, while the cell-like forms add an element of abstraction to richly colored and detailed paintings.
