S.V. Medaris | oil, pastel, printmaking

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 Wisconsin with her family, amidst (many) chickens, dogs, cats, peafowl, turkeys, and pigs from which she draws inspiration for life and art.

After 3 successful solo exhibitions: "A One Chick Show: Of Cocks and Hens" (Oct. 2004), "The Lives of Farm Dogs" (Oct. 2005), and "The Whole Hog" (Oct. 2007), Sue is continuing to create more oils, pastels, and etchings of farm life around her.

You can see her work at upcoming shows, and at Artisan Gallery in Paoli, WI.

Sue will have various pieces in progress, demonstrating.
