ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Suzanne's drawings, paintings and sculptures assess the nature of internal and external struggle, and aim to present a context in which one is powerful, vulnerable, or both. She often symbolizes conflicts within human relationships that pertain to issues of femininity, intimacy and power: questioning whether these characteristics help to define one as strong or weak within societal and social circumstance. When portraying animals: the natural characteristics of the chosen animal species, and their relationship to human society, are symbolic of human behavior.

Bio
Suzanne Head received her BFA in Drawing from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 2016 and began teaching there in 2017. With a multi-faceted approach to material and technique, she has created ambitious bodies of work in pencil, paint, clay and glass. Her drawings have shown at the Society of Illustrators in New York, NY and her glass work has exhibited at Bullseye Projects in Portland, Oregon. As a classically trained figurative artist, she explores narrative throughout these different mediums. Suzanne found glass to be a particularly motivating challenge, and moved to Seattle in 2018. There, she works with talented artists, teaches workshops, and continues to pursue her own studio practice.
