Susan Levin (left) is one emerging artist to watch! Her Abstract Expressionist paintings dance before your eyes in vibrant color and playful movement, complementing each other and everything around them. Inspired by nature and life, Levin's paintings resonate with humor, authenticity and fun. Equally inspiring are the stories she tells behind each title, giving that much more insight into the influences behind each image.
Levin dabbled in art throughout her childhood, taking classes in painting, wood working and pottery. But, it wasn't until 2005 that an ephiphany hit her through the form of a dream.
"In March of 2005, I had a very powerful dream. It was so powerful, that when I woke up, I was filled with excitement and enthusiasm. It directed
me to go to 'Plaza Art Store (it was very specific about which art store I should go to)' and buy all the accroutrements that I needed to start painting, and that's what I did!" -Susan Levin on YouTube
Levin has been painting up a storm ever since. She works hard to create pieces that evoke emotion and conversation. In 2011, Levin added digital photography to her creative repertoire. When she is not painting, she is taking photographs of the landscape, architecture and people around her. Her digital photographs are equally expressive, vibrant and as real as her paintings.
"While my paintings and photographs are an expression of my moods, they
are also an abstract interpretation of real life experiences. I interpret my dreams and often paint what I dream and I embellish my photos with the use of the computer."
Levin's work has been widely exhibited in solo and group shows throughout galleries in Connecticut, Washington DC and Maryland, where she lives and works. Her art has been featured in several editions of the American Art Collector and the Washington Project for the Arts, as well as in online competitions and shows.
This Summer, Levin's work will be part of an International Exhibition in NYC by see.me entitled 'The Story of the Creative'.
The public is invited to an opening reception for the show at the Angel Orensanz Foundation on 172 Norfolk Street, in Manhattan. To RSVP for the opening, please contact: [email protected]
Levin's work may also be seen on her website, Art by Susan Levin and on Facebook. The artist continues to look for exciting new opportunities to showcase her work through galleries, corporations, public and private commissions.
