Inspired by her love of color and deep fascination for the work of Henri Rousseau, Susan Medyn began painting in watercolor 45 years ago. She found herself drawing fantastical creatures in imaginary worlds. These are worlds where one can reside peacefully, playfully, and harmoniously—even dangerously. Medyn’s paintings balance humor, fear, and restrained elegance. Creatures, both real and imagined, inhabit her color-filled scenes. She recently turned to antique maps and their sea monsters as a format for works about the South Coast of Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Susan has exhibited locally, nationally, as well as internationally in France, Belgium, Monaco, Poland, and Romania.
