PHOTOGRAPHY AND ART
Susanne Riette-Keith - Featured Artist for August 2009
About this month's featured artist...
"I have been a commercial artist in the giftware, toy, fabric, and paper products industries for many years and presently have my own freelance design studio in my home in Easton.
I am a graduate of the Massachusetts College of Art and Design where I majored in Painting and Illustration.
Painting, primarily with watercolors, is my first love. My paintings are fantasy-oriented with a 'slight edge', combining dream worlds with reality and incorporating a touch of humor.
My creatures float in space--acrobatic in many instances--and some move in their own confined spaces. Overall, they have a 'carnival' quality and feel as if they originated from a different world.
In sum, what is conveyed is something serious, but not too serious because of an over-riding playfulness in its style and theme."
