Artist Spotlight
Susan Newbold
Susan Newbold's painting and prints are her response to nature as a metaphor for life's Organic flow. Through a vocabulary both representational and abstract, she illustrates the vibrant path of valleys, oceans, fields, and rocks. Mark making celebrates the repetition of life process, while line and color invite the view into its variety. In combing monoprints with drawing, painting and other mixed media, she signals the infinite design of the natural landscape. Her intentions to render the joy of creation through the spirit of these elements.
The Artist received a BA in studio Art from Principia College and a MFA in Visual Art from Vermont College. Her final project, an artist book, was acquired by the Chicago Institute of Art. She is also a graduate of the Post Bac Program of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, MA. She has been awarded four fellowships to work in France by the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts and the MD Institute of Art. Additional residencies have been at the New Pacific Studios in New Zealand and the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay, ME.
"The Flow of life wit its many complex passages is my concern. Obstacles, openings, beginnings, endings, detours, and rapids are some of the aspects of the movement which I strive to depict. My vocabulary to express this life journey is mark making with ink, graphite, paint, printmaking and collage. This process causes me to be both obsessive and free/gestural (not unlike to practice of yoga) and the final results always cathartic."
