EILEEN S. KAMINSKY FAMILY FOUNDATION
Suzan Globus
Artist Suzan Globus credits her formative years spent living in Japan as the strongest influence on her work. The Eastern approach to balance, symmetry, and simplicity are reflected in her work as well as the philosophy of leaving no human footprint in any environment. Her work employs a non-objective approach using color and unconventional surfaces including tree bark, unprimed supports and found objects. Her artistic expression is focused on the fraying relationship between humankind and the natural environment and equality between the sexes.
Globus holds a post-baccalaureate in Fine Arts from Kean University and pursued additional studies at the Arts Students League and the National Academy Museum and School in New York.
Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in New Jersey and New York in juried and solo shows and hangs in private collections across the country.
