Please join us for the opening reception of Artist in Residence Suzette Martin's exhibit of original work, Apocalypse: Science & Myth.

Suzette Marie Martin is a figurative painter based in New England. She uses archetypal figures, the narrative potential of body language, scientific data and allusions to mythology to examine the existential trauma of environmental collapse, and explore emotional response to rational evidence. Martin's practice, rooted in drawing and developed in series, is informed by observational studies, art historical reference and topical research. Her combinations of wet and dry media create layers of gestural and textural marks, erasures, opaque passages and translucent washes that expose a working process of obscuring and revealing elements of figuration, text and abstraction.
