Slinking Through the Eel Grass | View from a paddleboard in Lake Tashmoo...fish darting through the seaweed.
Artist: Susie White
Susie White is an abstract landscape painter living full-time on Martha’s Vineyard.
Born in 1970 and raised in Lincoln Park, Susie earned a B.A. in Fine Art from Ithaca College. In the years following, White traveled extensively and ultimately landed in Los Angeles where she toiled away as a scenic artist for film and television, honing her skills in creating textures and surfaces and gaining a working understanding of materials and process to achieve a prescribed effect. Her exposure to the industry also led to her paintings being featured on sets of commercials, television and in movies. Susie’s work evolved significantly during her L.A. period; she found a voice in composing panels big and small, a technique she employs as a painter today.
Susie’s painting “constructions” often start from a seed of organic inspiration: the way lichen grows on a stone wall, the intense color of marsh grass in early summer, or patterns found in ice. Using techniques she developed as a scenic artist, White then uses a variety of materials to paint on panels of primed Masonite, and finally arranges the components into a single, connected idea.
Susie was introduced to Martha’s Vineyard through her husband and spent many summers visiting an old family camp located on Tashmoo, her “happy place”. She counts those early days overlooking layers of lake, sand and sound as a lasting inspiration for her work.
Susie’s work is held in galleries and private collections across New England and in California. She has participated in juried shows at the Cambridge Art Association and the LAAA South Winter Biannual in Hermosa Beach, CA. Her work for film and television continues to be seen in productions including Grey’s Anatomy, Modern Family, The Mindy Project, How to Get Away With Murder, Promising Young Woman, Big Little Lies and many more.
Susie now lives in Vineyard Haven and works in a snug studio surrounded by ocean, twisted oak trees, mossy old stone walls, and vast salt marshes, all driving her creations and informing her expression.
