Our Featured Artist of the Day is Suzanne Demeo!








Our Featured Artist of the Day is Suzanne Demeo!

Suzanne is a New England Native, but has been living in Williamsburg for the past twenty years. She received her BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art, where she studied drawing and printmaking. She then went on to earn a Master's Degree in Printing Technologies from Rochester Institute of Technology. Suzanne is currently working as an adjunct assistant professor in Art and Art History at the College of William and Mary.

Suzanne's work in "Undiscovered.", "Swan Song" and "Way to River", are both watercolor paintings. Demeo has been working with watercolor on and off for the past 15 years. Her most recent work, as seen in "Undiscovered.", are landscape paintings. "I am definitely inspired by the beauty of the landscape and clarity of the light in the west", says Demeo. Her work in "Undiscovered." is painted from photographs taken in Nevada. Suzanne explains her process, "I spend a lot of time on the drawing and then build up my color slowly, reserving my whites. I think that my background in printmaking helps me understand the additive nature of watercolor".
