| Sue Carlson was born in Minneapolis, MN in 1956 and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She earned a BA in music history and performance from Case Western Reserve University and an MFA in visual art from CAL-ARTS. Her musical training has deeply influenced her painting practice, as she uses the model of musical language as a way of embracing the poetry of light and space. Sue trained as a painter by assisting in the studios of Elizabeth Murray and Lucio Pozzi in New York City. Her works have been exhibited throughout New York, including Rose Burlingham Fine Art, Gerber-Seid Fine Art, Van Brunt Gallery, Lindsey Brown Gallery, Artist's Space and White Columns. Her work has also been represented by galleries in San Francisco (CA), San Antonio (TX), and Baltimore (MD). In addition to painting, Sue performs and teaches classical piano. | |
