An exhibition of local artist Susan K. Feldman’s work will be the final ArtSouth event of 2023, hosted by the Village of Palmetto Bay at the Perrine Community Center on Saturday, Oct. 21. ArtSouth and the village, which have joined for many previous exhibitions, will be skipping exhibitions during the months of November and December.
Those attending can expect to see a variety of work and subject matter.
“I actually work in several different mediums,” Feldman said. “I work in oil paint, painting with brushes, and I do paintings with palette knives. I also work in watercolor and in pen and ink. The paintings will be unlike a lot of other art shows.
“Many shows are beautiful, but if you do flowers the whole show is flowers. My show is not going to be anything like that. My show is going to be many different subject matters and the theme of my show is going to be movement like some ballet dancers, children, ocean waves, things like that.”
Feldman went to Ohio State, to Columbus College of Arts and Design and to the University of Cincinnati majoring in art. It was there that she met her husband to be and married.
“We moved to Miami; we had a couple of children, and so my art took a back seat to my marriage and my children,” Feldman said. “I continued to paint, just not as feverishly as I do right now. Then when my children got married and moved away I set up a studio in my home and I’ve been painting feverishly ever since.”
Feldman said that her art is what kept her going during the COVID pandemic.
“I just turned to my art and you can get lost doing that,” she said. “Bombs could be going off around me and I probably wouldn’t even notice it.”
Feldman said that she has done so many paintings that’s she’s running out of space to store them.
She also belongs to a group called the Palette Knife Artists of Miami.
“I was one of the people who started the group,” she said. “It’s headed up by an artist named MaiYap. I just love her to death and she’s like our quarterback.
“We do paintings that are designated for endangered things in the state of Florida, like mangroves and the coral reefs, endangered birds and endangered turtles. Our next show will go up at Biscayne National Park in January of next year and that’ll be on the endangered and threatened butterflies.”
Her artist website is SusanKFeldmanArtist.com and she plans to update it soon.
Perrine Community House is located at 900 Perrine Ave. in Palmetto Bay. Light refreshments will be served.
