New Artist Welcome Reception,
First Friday Sip & Shop with The Butler's Pantry

March 3, 5-8pm

Carolina Fine Art is pleased to officially welcome artist Mary Lou Sussman. Mary Lou Sussman has been a member of the Charlotte art community for many years and is known as a printmaker, a painter, and art teacher. 

She grew up in rural Michigan. That flat topography became an important inspiration in her later work. Later, while at the University of Michigan pursuing studies in Printmaking and Painting, she was introduced to the work of the Impressionists and the Fauves and their expressive use of color. These two elements remain significant influences in her work today.

In creating a new piece, she first marks the surface with big open scribbles and then begins selecting the primary lines and curves which ultimately define the drawing. Then she adds layers until the piece is finished.
