Meet-The-Artist Reception: To Be Determined
“Variations” showcases the artistry of Susan Larimer.
Susan Larimer is a member of the Loft Gallery in Occoquan. Her works are in both relief and intaglio printing, pen and ink as well as the occasional watercolor. After a full-time career as a contracting officer for the Department of Defense, Susan has had time to focus on her artwork. She works in a variety of representational subjects: people, landscapes, seascapes, architecture, and trees.
Susan started out working in watercolors. This changed to pen and ink drawings which are black and white. She then moved to printing in black and white with etchings, lithographs and relief prints in linoleum and wood. She has lately moved wood engravings and colorful Japanese-watercolor-style moku-hanga woodcut prints.
This exhibit contains a graphite piece “The Breakfast Table” with a recreated image as a watercolor monoprint. The linocut, “With Circles” is shown in more than one color. A mix of bags includes woodcut bags printed in multiple colors. Other images are in multiple colors as well. Additionally, there will be a couple of silver point pieces. Silver point is drawing with silver as opposed to graphite. Not to be forgotten are Susan’s black and white pen and ink drawings.
The Loft Gallery of Occoquan is voted one of the top 10 best galleries in Northern Virginia.
