10 Questions for: Maggie Suisman
Posted November 9th, 2004 by eliot
Where are you from? Where do you live now? How have these places impacted you as a person and as an artist?
I grew up in Hartford and Deep River, CT. My parents were involved in politics and I have recently realized the impact of their political involvement on me as an artist. I also lived in San Francisco when I was an undergraduate and the painting style of the Bay Area Figurative Artists inspired and formed me as an artist. I learned how to paint in part by looking at the paintings of Richard Diebenkorn, Joan Brown, and David Park. I got to see a lot of their paintings in person by being in SF.
