About the Artist:
In 2002 after ending a 21 year career as lead designer for the San Francisco Bay Area sticker company, Mrs. Grossman’s Paper Company, Susanna Snodgrass uncovered a new voice as a painter. Predominantly self-taught, with no formal training as a designer or as a painter, her work, acrylic paint on paper and her recent work on Tyvek, is a result of an intuitive way of painting that at times is also a meditation practice.
The artist finds from her home on the Humboldt North Coast of California, an endless transmission of natural beauty, quietude, and teachings that shapes and sustains her work.
Artist Statement:
My work is a practice that leads into the inner experience. It is a movement searching out balance and stillness, a harmony of co existing energies.
I bring to this practice a curiosity about the existence of the Natural world and a deepening self inquiry; a life experience.
Visually I am influenced by the colors and light of the living environment, by the simplicity and directness of Asian brush painting, and by imagery of poetry.
My teachers are everywhere.
