SusanVolpe' Former New York  artist and resident, a graduate from the Parson School of Design.  I  enjoy working with water based transparent and opaque paints and inks.  My paintings are developed through an observation of nature and design.   My garden empowers me to paint.  I see flowers which grace my path each day and feel they are familiar friends.  I embrace their beauty and record their place on this earth.  I have always felt that to invent from what I see, is far more interesting than to just paint what is actually there. 

The  summer of 2003, I painted on the island of Skolpolos Greece.  I worked at the studio gallery with the Skopolos Foundation for the Arts.  The people and the island inspired me to create paintings of the landscape there.  The Assunta Fox Gallery is my studio and loft space where I paint and showcase my work.  I share my walls with other California artists and have developed a cooperative known as Art Endeavors West This non profit organization has been formed to offer showcase space for local, national and international artists, to develop educational programs and art residencies.
