Collection: Susan Gelotte

"It was inevitable that I would become an artist. Both of my parents were artists, my mother painted in watercolor, my father was an illustrator and designer.

My father taught me to make woodcuts at an early age. I have continued to make wood and lino prints and studied other techniques of printmaking and painting. I enjoy painting outdoors and more recently have been making small tapestries.

I am inspired by many woodcut artists but I am especially drawn to the German Expressionists, Lionell Feininger in particular. Arthur Wesley Dow, a New Englander active in the Arts and Crafts movement.

I attended the Boston Museum School and more recently have taken many printmaking workshops at Zea Mays Printmaking Studio, Snow Farm and Castle Hill in Truro. I print at my home studio in Northampton, MA and I have been an active member at First Proof Press in Brattleboro, VT."
