Susan Gale was born in Newfoundland in 1977. Susan studied painting at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design from 2000-2004 and received her BFA. In 2005, Susan moved to Toronto, where she has been painting, and exhibiting and selling her work consistently.
Susan's work explores the nostalgia of community by highlighting the juxtapose between the peaceful, quiet mystery of light and the rush of visually invoked sensation. She explores the sensibility that an image evokes by manipulating form, surface and palette to exaggerate each painting's elements of colour, framing and texture. By employing rich hues and playful pixilation, her work seeks to investigate a space between abstraction and representation that allows for a rich direct language of mark making.
