My most recent quarterly artist newsletters can be found on my blog: https://suzeart.wordpress.com/ by searching "Suze's Art" or "Suze's Art News." In them I report on the previous quarter's activity, including exhibits and awards as well as upcoming events.
I am looking forward to seeing you all sometime in the future!
Some recent news
- The plein air group I co-manage has visited the Georgetown Steam Plant 6 times over the last 3 years. We were very excited to be holding a casual exhibit of paintings *of* the steam plant *in* the steam plant during their December Open House. If you’ve never been there, you’re in for an amazing treat–it powered Seattle’s trolleys early in the last century. Have a look at the organization’s site and virtual tour!
- Core Values continues at Seattle’s Klondike National Historic Park through April 2026. It once again bears repeating that I could not have completed this “craftivist” textile project, originally for Olympic National Park’s Terminus project, without the creative skills of textile artist Arisa Brown and weaver Janet Stone.
- Seattle-Nantes Sister City Artist Exchange at Base Camp II.
The French artist, Eric Fontaneau, who also does work about trees and forests, will be visiting. I will be showing my fabric installation of burned tree paintings, “State of the Forest.” It toured the US and Canada from 2019-2025, so I’m very excited to finally show it in my hometown and for such a good reason! Later in the year I will be taking it to France. - Zion Art Invitational https://www.zionpark.org/pages/artinvitational
It was a great delight to be invited back to this most beloved place. We had perfect weather that first week of November, sunny but not too hot. Over an intense few days, I painted 8 new small pieces as well the previously mounted “signature” painting at Worthington Gallery throughout October. (November 2025, Springdale UT) This was perhaps my favorite—everywhere I looked I saw naturally “bonsai-ed" trees!
