Waters of March 2014

Julie M. Gallery  (Toronto, Ontario)

PRESS RELEASE – JULIE M. GALLERY

Please join us in welcoming our new artist Susan G. Scott at her first solo show in the gallery. Susan G. Scott’s lyrical lines and rich colours bear testimony to a lifetime spent in the discovery of an authentic expression of her world. She describes landscape interiors with the fluent ease of someone grounded in abstract expressionism, reborn in narrative figuration and now evolved into a full blown landscape artist on par with Canada’s very best. Her works on TerraSkin embrace this stone-based paper with the delicacy and sensitivity of Chinese watercolours and simultaneously reflect the sophistication of space that is completely contemporary and evocative of our disappearing natural world.

Susan G. Scott was born in Montreal, Quebec and studied painting at the Pratt Institute in New York City. She attended fine art schools in Boston, Maine and Montreal, and finally the New York Studio School of Drawing and Painting. She has since taught in various schools throughout North America and currently teaches at Concordia University in Montreal.
