IEA Member Artist Profile
Susanne Arnold
A Richmond-based artist, Susanne K. Arnold explores the overlay of cultural memory and personal
experience in her work, utilizing a personal vocabulary of images and the ancient painting
technique of encaustic. She exhibits her work regionally and nationally. Honors include artist
residencies sponsored by the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation;
two Virginia Museum fellowships and artist grants from the Ludwig Vogelstein and Adolph and Esther
Gottlieb Foundations.
ARTIST STATEMENT
As an artist, I am constantly reinventing myself through intense studio experimentation. For the
past several years I have focused on making small experimental work out of beeswax and salvaged
discards from my garden and neighborhood, as a means to push the boundaries of my creative ideas,
medium and process. The progression of memories and ideas “unearthed” through this working method
has resulted in a vocabulary of images and forms that serve as metaphors for the passage of time
and the struggle between nature and civilization.
