Susan Tobey White
I have been a full time working artist in Maine for the last 30 years. I am known mostly for my paintings of faceless dancers and food series which are full of energy and color.
One of my most asked questions about the dancers is, “Why no faces?” My answer: I realized it was not necessary. My dancers are about the motion, the emotion and the colors and patterns of dance.
Many wonder about the variety of techniques I use. The answer is simple. I was trained as an art teacher learning to use many tools and processes. I feel that each theme is a new problem to solve and often lends itself to a unique technique.
I have had a turn of interest in process and theme by creating a series of the Lobstering Women of Maine. I am using a more traditional approach to painting as I work on these portraits. I want them to be real and tell the story of these women as well as a piece of the process of lobstering. I have been absolutely obsessed with this project.
