Susan Seddon Boulet

 Born of ex-pat British parents in Brazil, Susan Seddon Boulet brought a rich fusion of influences and inspirations to her art. Her early paintings are infused with a warm light that embodies the whimsy of exploration. Interacting with the divine, through all its incarnations and the disguises it wears. Later paintings shifted to the dubious denizens of the underworld as the artist struggled with her own mortality, but also included the promise of rebirth as personified by mythic figures such as Pegasus, born from the demise of the monstrous (and tragic) maiden Medusa. Compositions are dynamic and shimmer with strong emotional engagement. This Facebook Group shares and celebrates the uniqueness of her art.

A CELEBRATION OF FEMALE ARTISTS

 According to one of the founding members, this group was created to offer a platform to showcase rare and forgotten art by pioneering female creatives and the spectrum of styles and disciplines shown includes sculpture, ceramics, digital art, photography, textile art, and mixed media, as well as more traditional paintings. Featured artists include historic painters such as Artemisia Gentileschi, and well known names such as Dora Maas and Freda Kahlo. I particularly enjoyed the jaw-droppingly realistic portraits by contemporary British artist Isabelle Watling.
