| ABOUT
THE ARTIST: lAfter 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 of 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 and along with raising a family, 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 that have seen them have stated that they have never
seen anything like it! 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 a element
of abstraction to richly colored and detailed paintings. RESUME l COLLECTIONS l REVIEWS |
