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.
