GFAA provides educational programs, promotional opportunities, multiple exhibits during the year, and outreach to local audiences.
Susan O'Neill
THE EXPRESSIVE FIGURE CONTEMPORARY EXPLORATIONS
What creates a dynamic figurative work of art? Explore the
meaning of classical realism and abstraction in figure
drawing. Lessons, in contrast, linking the representational to
the abstract, this lecture will explore historical and modern
works of art representing the human figure.. Come to the
meeting in person if you would like to see her work up close
and personal.
Susan is a fine artist known for capturing her
inspirations with a unique, expressive character that
permeates harmony and vitality. She strives to create a
balance between the uniqueness of her subject through
both representational and abstract expressions. Susan
finds tremendous inspiration in how these elements
intertwine and influence the perception of art.
She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of
Michigan and graduate studies with internationally
recognized instructors at the University of Michigan,
Rhode Island School of Design, Corcoran School of Art,
Studio Incaminati in Philadelphia, and The Art League.
Susan's many years of diverse experience have
honed her artist's eye and provided varied opportunities
to exhibit her work and teach internationally.

NEW CATEGORY FOR THE KENTLANDS SHOW!
Photography & Digital Art
After our September 14 meeting, we took an online vote on whether to add a new category of art to the Kentlands show: Photography and Digital Art. This will be a single category. Photography starts with a picture taken with a camera or phone, and possibly modified with digital software. Digital art is made with the use of software. AI generated art is not accepted and the copyright for the whole or any part of the artwork must belong to the artist.
