Suzanna Fields
Painter
Richmond, VA
Suzanna Field‘s hyper-intricate acrylic paintings explore macro and micro processes in the natural world and beyond. Growing up in rural Appalachian, the strange beauty and impermanence of nature seeped into and permeates her art. Pouring, extruding and layering paint, ink, and mediums; unconventional painting processes mirror the precarious and barely-there order of the systems that surround us. Her work invites viewers to participate by making their own connections between organic forms from satellite imagery to micro photography. An intermingling of contemplation and spontaneity, biology and fantasy, her paintings oscillate between the foreignness and the familiarity of the natural world and how it persistently weaves its way into our subconscious experience.
Suzanna received her MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University. Recognitions include a Bethesda Painting Award, a Liquitex Purchase Prize, and a Virginia Center for the Arts Fellowship. Her work is in private and public collections including the Eleanor Wilson Museum, Capital One, Bill and Pam Royall, Phillip Morris and Shepard and Amanda Fairey.

Nicoletta Favari
Musician
Italy/United States
Striving to be catalysts for the global mobility of art and artists, Nicoletta Favari (piano) & Christopher Salvito (percussion) as Passepartout Duo have taken the works of emerging and established composers all over the world. They complement the existing and commissioned repertoire with their own original compositions often taking inspiration from their travels. Creating compelling films that document their interpretations and compositions, they seek to showcase contemporary classical music in accessible formats through online videos.
While they are proudly self-sufficient in their management, recording, filming, and touring activities, the duo is also always eager to create collaborations across disciplines. Their collaborators have included the Gent-based animator Anna van Riel, the Beijing based visual artists Yannis Zhang and Yumo Wu, Jacob Storer of the Trisha Brown dance company, Santa Monica’s Barak Ballet, and the textile designer Deepa Panchamia.
