Susan E. Squires
Encaustic / Mixed Media
Subsequently, Squires studied art and art history in Italy with the University of Georgia and the University of Texas. In 2000, she participated in a five week Printmaking Residency in Dresden, Germany through a grant from the Ohio Arts Council and Zygote Press.
Since 2002, Squires has shown with the Arte e Pensieri Gallery in Rome, Italy. She also has work in Spoleto, Perugia and Pisa. Susan travels extensively and dances Argentine Tango.
Statement
Squire's encaustic/mixed media works are typically quiet meditations with psychological and spiritual implications. Her influences range from literary and musical passages, current events, landscape space and growth forms to architecture, archetypical images and symbols and most recently geometric systems.
Both rational and intuitive, the pieces are "poetic" interpretations of subtle states of being. Addressing the mind/body/spirit continuum, Squires displays a deep reverence for the past, a desire to explore uncharted terrain, yet the work is confidently grounded in the present.
