Susan Stewart

Susan Stewart is an American artist living 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. This led to a career in murals, sign painting and as a poster artist. She later concentrated on Fine Art. She moved back to the states recently and lives on Cape Cod.
In her paintings Susan expresses her most poignant memories. She works at creating a harmony between colour, movement and shape, often with a reference to music, society and nature. 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 stories and 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...
