Suzanne Anderson’s studio drawings are pastel on paper. These figure works try to celebrate the model as individual—and use color and line to interpret their energy or take the scene beyond the studio walls.
Her most recent works, a series called Myth & Memory, are oils on linen—larger works that look at life's pivot points (loss, transition, resilience, memory) through a lens of myth and magic—the personal and universal merge.
She received an MFA in 1977 from California College of Arts and Crafts, Oakland CA. She exhibited oils and watercolors at William Sawyer Gallery from 1978 until 1984. After her retirement she has begun painting in oils again looking at her earlier art and joining the threads.
