ABOUT THE ARTIST

Susan Budge has a spontaneous approach to her work rooted in abstract expressionism and surrealism. Her biomorphic forms recall ritualistic fertility figures, shamanism and fetishization. She has received numerous awards, public art commissions, and presented her work extensively in exhibitions nationally and internationally. Museum collections include the Smithsonian, the Honolulu Museum of Art, the Daum Museum of Contemporary Art, the Fuller Craft Museum, the San Antonio Museum of Art, the San Angelo Museum of Art, the Art Museum at Northern Arizona State University, the Art Museum of South Texas and the New Orleans Museum of Art. Budge completed a BFA from Texas Tech University, MA from University of Houston Clear Lake and MFA from University of Texas San Antonio. She retired from San Antonio College as a tenured professor in 1995. She continues her studio practice in her rural studio near Houston.
