I opened up a new Etsy store last night for my abstract, textural oil paintings. The just feel so different to me than the fruit paintings and the mixed media collages. Currently, though, there is some overlapping happening in my studio. I have some works in progress that are textural, larger and abstract oil on a map base. Can't wait to see where they progress to! So, the URL for the new shop is- http://www.suefoss.etsy.com/

Hey, look! I got myself a new studio to paint in.
I am here right now.

Um...I better get to work

Under The North Star is one of my newest "House Paintings". I created this during my residency in Provincetown. I am having alot of fun with these little collages...

"Sexy Fig" is a recent addition to my Etsy shop...It is 9 x 12 and was painted int eh first week of my residency on the Cape.

I was invited to do a solo show in Beacon, NY for the month of July in a new gallery called Mount Beacon Fine Art. Very exciting!
I will keep you posted...

I am back from a three week artist residency/fellowship in Provincetwon, Ma. at one of the "dune shacks" called C-scape. It was a fantastic experience. I intend to create a blog dedicated to chronicling the journey. The shack is a small cottage-like structure, a kitchen, living room/studio and a loft bedroom upstairs. There is no electricity or running water, although there is a propane refrigerator and 2 burner "stove" and a water pump nearby. Three weeks to step out of my "real life" and leave behind bills, telephones, computers, etc. and paint, read and write! It was a few steps from the ocean, a short walk up a dune and over, and the beach was virtually deserted for most of my time there.
