Item Description
Artist Susan Medyn first started working in watercolors 35 years ago. She began making paintings inspired by her work with children and love of color as well as her fascination with the work of Henri Rousseau. Her paintings bring you to an astonishing wonderland of outrageous creatures and beasties set in fantastical landscapes. They are entire diminutive universes of an entirely different world.
Noel Suter once wrote: "Medyn is gifted with a color sense as savory as fresh fruit and an imagination capable of setting genetics soundly on its ear. She gives life to an astonishing wonderland of beasties, plants and totemic trees, part vegetable, part animal and part apartment house for a diminutive universe of creatures. At times her work superficially recalls such diverse artists as Paul Klee and Dr. Seuss. Yet her work is decidedly her own; it has remarkable ability to appeal to virtually every level of sophistication."
Susan's work has been compared to the work of Paul Klee, Dr. Seuss, Henri Rousseau and the Gumby animator Art Clokey.
Susan Medyn is a member of the South Coast Artists, with members in Westport and Dartmouth, MA, and Tiverton and Little Compton, RI.
