Biography
Susan Stewart is an American artist living in France. She was born in 1959 in Norwood, Massachusetts and grew up on Cape Cod.
Susan was a professional classical dancer with the Joffrey Ballet in New York City. She danced as a soloist from 1977 to 1983. In 1985 she and her husband moved to France where she began her studies at the, Ecole Des Beaux Arts, in Annecy, France.
Ms Stewart's career in the Arts began as a Muralist. Painting giant murals for many large French companies. She then changed directions and now devotes all of her time to Fine Art.
Susan paints with oil and acrylic on different supports but mainly canvas. In her paintings Susan expresses her most poignant memories. She works at creating a harmony between color, movement and shape, often with a reference to music, society and nature. In her patches of color Susan adapts nature and changes it to convey a certain mood which enables her to reach something higher spiritually. Ms. Stewarts work asks us to reflect upon the complexities of the human existence in society and nature. She looks back at the past and expresses her memories as if in a dream. They are fabricated memories and they invite the viewer to dream with her.
Susans work is based upon "old" memories that she rearranges to create "new" memories. Through painting and sculpture she revisits a particular person or poignant moment in her life and expands upon it. Often times she is inspired by her own photos which she changes to suit a new vision. Her work integrates a meticulous study of art history through dance, literature, music and painting. She is inspired by such artists as Munch, Matisse, Van Gogh, Jasper Johns, Raushenberg, Niki St Phalle, David Hockney, and Peter Doig.
Ms. Stewart has sold much of her work over the internet and through her personal site. She is presently preparing for a show.
