Susie Monday is an artist and teacher who works from her studio in Pipe Creek, Texas, near San Antonio. As Director of Exhibits and Programs of the San Antonio Children’s Museum, Susie designed the initial educational plan and exhibits for the museum, as well as launched the museum’s programming. Susie has also served as a feature writer and news reporter for the San Antonio Light Newspaper.
What grabs me are conversations between color and texture, and the drama of pattern in everything I see around me: the wind in the cedar trees below my windows, the Guatemalan and Mexican textiles in my studio drawers, the angels who come to me as I work. I make paintings from textiles and surface-rich original art cloth, stacking up tall stashes of the latter in order to make the former.”
