“The Queen of Collage” is what they call her, the La Jolla grown artist Susan Wickstrand, who has been filling up our newsfeeds with her interesting and elaborate pieces. Instead of using digital tools such as photoshop or those easily recognizable filters, Susan doesn’t make it easy on herself by cutting, gluing and sewing her pieces together by hand. The result – the beautiful abstract pieces inspired by her love for nature, travel and family.
If you aren’t spending too much time scrolling social media, you could have also come across her artwork on popular and award winning television shows like “Modern Family” and “Parenthood” or on stylish apparel brands like Rip Curl.
The appeal of Susan’s work is easy to see, from her bright colors, to her mixed media, attracting all sorts of tastes. We encourage you to go check out her work! One of the galleries – Greenroom Gallery – where Susan’s work is be shown will be having a grand opening on October 27th, from 6pm to 9pm, at their new location at the International Marketplace in Waikiki. One of our own represented artists, world-renowned photographer Zak Noyle will be holding an exhibit for the show, followed by a meet and greet.
We hope to see you there!
