Susan Allen's "Musing on Monadnock" Solo Exhibition EXTENDED through August 31, 2020

Susan Allen attends Emmanuel Church and enjoys serving as a Reader of Lessons.

Susan is an Exhibiting Member of the Providence Art Club and Monadnock Art and has exhibited in faculty shows and galleries in Michigan, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, the subject of much of her work. She is deeply thrilled to be able to share 150 works in "Musing on Monadnock," a major solo exhibition of paintings and monotypes in all three galleries of the Jaffrey Civic Center running until August 31,2020. An open water swimmer who has swum the Hellespont, walked the Camino of Santiago de Compostela, and foraged for wild mushrooms in NH forests, Allen draws her inspiration from immersion in nature. Allen is a plein air painter in oils and watercolor. Her go-to subjects are land and lake scapes of New Hampshire, Michigan, Rhode Island, and Greece. She approaches painting as a meditation and aims to produce healing work that allows the viewer to contemplate and inhabit as a respite from life’s stresses.
