Susan Wolf

I migrated to the Bay Area from the Chicago Area in1981. Through the 80’s I was entranced with the nocturnal sub-culture found at the SF flower market and the activities that followed certain purchases; buying fleeting beautiful moments to share in ways that strayed from the conventional bouquet.

In 2003 I returned to the practice of drawing and making art regularly. I make tactile mixed media drawings in journals to establish a basic vocabulary of imagery to again re-work and organize into second and third generations of projects utilizing digital processing and other image transfer techniques including photo etching and chine-colle. Although my work is primarily 2-D I am currently generating some site specific projects that speak to our cultures inadequate attempts to meet the basic needs of people.

Currently an Artist in Residence at Kala Art Institute in Berkeley, Ca. I am exploring newly learned techniques while enjoying the resources and community of an established printmaking studio.
