Susan
Hoehn
Museum Exhibitions
California artist Susan Hoehn is best known for her vibrant hues
reflecting the beauty of the landscapes she paints. From vineyards
to seaside vistas Ms. Hoehn captures the essence of the contemporary
landscape.
Susan received a B.A. in Art from the University of California
at Berkeley where she was schooled in a variety of mediums. As
a student in the late 70’s she studied painting under Joan
Brown. During that period she worked part time for the University
Bear Backers designing brochure covers for athletic events. She
also designed the poster for the U.S.A. vs U.S.S.R. International
Track Event.
Susan has built a successful
art career painting the vineyards of Northern California. Her
paintings and limited edition giclees can be found in numerous
galleries through out California and especially in the Napa and
Sonoma region. She visits the wine country several times a year
exploring new locations to photograph and paint. She is most
inspired by summer and fall as the color, light and shadows unite
to form that perfect composition.
When Susan started exhibiting
at the Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach, she decided to explore
other subject matters as well as her landscape paintings. "
I enjoy painting things that I love, and going to museums is
one of my favorite things to do. Her depiction of museum goers
is a juxtaposition between our current culture and the historical
masterpieces on view. Travel is also one of her passions that
has inspired many of her paintings.
No matter what the subject,
Susan knows she is ultimately successful when someone viewing
her painting experiences the same delight from the scene as she
did.
Susan Hoehn’s art
is exhibited in many galleries in the western United States and
is collected across the U.S., Canada and abroad. She is an artist
member of the California Art Club and two of her pieces this
year will be exhibited at the 111th CAC Gold Medal Exhibition
at the Bowers Museum, July 16 to August 21. This is her eighth
consecutive year exhibiting at the juried Festival of Arts in
Laguna Beach.
