ArtsUnited Features Susan Torres

Artsunited is pleased to feature the paintings of local artist Susan Torres in a solo exhibit at the Stonewall Library and Archives from January 7 through February 1, 2008.

The gallery is located at 1717 N Andrews Avenue in Ft Lauderdale. The exhibit opens with a reception to meet the artist from 6:30 to 8:00 PM on Monday, January 7Th.

Born in New York, Susan Torres is a self-taught artist who, only recently, decided to pursue her art as a career. At first, Ms. Torres' paintings were very traditional in style. She eventually explored abstracts and felt an immediate connection. Recently, Susan has developed a curious style of capturing her characters and personalities.

Using vivid colors and bold characters, Susan creates a unique and engaging expression of women. She captures the alter egos of these women in a playful and alluring way. Susan now makes her home in South Florida. Visit http://www.susantorresart.com/ for more info.

The exhibit and reception are free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served at the reception. Funding for this monthly art series provided by Comcast and ArtsUnited.

Irreversible Magazine Reception a Hit!

As mentioned in a previous blog, I had the pleasure of being one of the first artists to be included in the Collector's Edition of Irreversible Magazine. The reception was a tremedous hit and we had a fabulous time!

Rolling out the Wine Barrel for Winterfest

I am currently painting a barrel that will be auctioned off at the Black Tie Ball during Winterfest. The barrel will then be showcased at a local Publix, who is a sponsor for the Winterfest Boat Parade.

I will upload the complete barrel when done...in the meantime...here it is in progress. See more wine barrel pics.
