Tenth and Race
Suzanne Spain
First floor Salon
Suzanne Spain studied at Bryn Mawr College (BA) and NYU (PhD). After a relatively short career teaching medieval art (the job market!!), she was fortunate to get a position in the administration at BMC, where she worked and taught some for 30 years.
She began painting about 20 years ago and has taken courses at the Wayne and Main Line Art Centers and attended workshops in Italy and France. She draws her subject matter from her own photographs and has been fortunate to have travelled widely. She finds the beauty and challenges in painting shore-, city- and landscapes, people, and dogs. Photos from her many summers on Deer Isle, Maine, continue to inspire new paintings. Country mailboxes, outhouses, rusted out trucks and dogs (see thumbnails below) are as rewarding subjects for her as the grand boulevards of Paris.
In this exhibit at the Cosmopolitan Club, she is showing watercolors of Maine, Paris, Venice and Philadelphia.
