S.V.
Medaris (Sue) was born in California in the 60's, and grew up
in the Midwest. She graduated from the University of California,
Santa Barbara with a Fine Art degree, and travelled and lived
in various parts of México and Central America. Later,
Sue settled down in Wisconsin and graduated from Madison Area
Technical College (Wisconsin) with a Commercial Art degree.
During this latter educational experience, she discovered how
to communicate with visual art. From there, Sue made the transition
back into Fine Art with oils, pastels and intaglio
portraying the drama of rural life on the farm.
Currently,the
artist resides on a farm in Southern Wi sconsin with her family,
amidst (many) chickens, dogs, cats, peafowl, turkeys, and pigs
from which she draws inspiration for life and art.
After 9
successful solo exhibitions in the last 7 years, each of them
based on a specific farm or rural theme ("A One Chick Show:
Of Cocks and Hens," "The Lives of Farm Dogs,"
and "The Whole Hog"), Sue continues to create more
oils, pastels, and original prints (relief, etc.) of farm life
around her.
You can
see her work at upcoming shows, and at Artisan Gallery in Paoli,
WI. More info at shows http://svmedaris.com/shows.html.
