Michi Susan

"KIMONO LANDSCAPE 404-03"

mixed media, 30 x 40 in.

Michi Susan was born in Tokyo, Japan, but Oklahoma has been her home for 27 years.  Educated at Japan's Women's University and Hosei University, Susan continued her studies in the U.S., and visited major European Art Centers.  An award winning artist, she is internationally recognized and has exhibited widely.

When she was five years old, Susan knew she wanted to be an artist.  Fortunately, her parents nourished her interest and talent.  At first, she was attracted to the work of the realists, but as her art evolved, she explored the forms of collage and mixed media, blenging the delicate and the detailed in an extraordinary way.  Historic Living magazine wrote, "As for the integration of Oklahoma landscapes into her work,  Susan says everything is a langscape including people, places, ideas and experiences.  She considers all her work 'landscapes', and she has become less concerned with making a philosophical statement with her art."

"Everyone interprets art differently and it speaks to people in many ways.  If you feel a certain way from somebody's painting, that's it.  That's what it is," she says.  "When I was young I thought of trying to convey a message through my work - what my life meant in art.  But I don't do that anymore.  I express myself through my paper, and I hope people enjoy my work."
