On the following Sunday, September 7th, from 10AM-5PM, Susan will also be teaching an explorative, abstract, and unique acrylic painting class! Using small bottles of paint, you will squeeze and press the paint directly onto paper to create complex compositions of colors and patterns. Create surprising overlays using Susan's distinctive technique. This class is open to artists of all levels and is perfect for beginners!

Susan Chrysler White lives and works in Iowa City, Iowa. White’s paintings are constructed by accumulating layers of acrylic and enamel paint on transparent glassine paper. She cuts and tears these laminations of glassine and collages them onto canvas creating invented worlds representing interior experiences.
Her paintings reference the anatomical, botanical, and spiritual while also drawing from her fascination with collections and patterns. White received the Joan Mitchell Foundation Award in Painting and Sculpture and the National Endowment for the Arts. White’s work is collected by various national institutions including the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Worcester Art Museum.
