SF Senior Center - Susan Torrey - Untitled - 2019Description
Susan Torrey
“Untitled”
SF Senior Center
Susan believes in “putting positive energy out there” in the world and in promoting positive energy in oneself. Born in Berkeley, Susan never studied art. Then in 2013, she decided to begin a “new phase” in her life and she set new goals for herself. She started by taking a collage class taught by a therapist she knew. Although it was only a four hour class, it inspired her to do more art. She wanted to paint and taught herself how to use watercolors.
Susan says she created this piece very quickly, in less than 15 minutes actually. She told her AWE teacher she wanted to do a collage. The teacher, Veronicas Rojas, pulled various, miscellaneous items out of a closet and soon Susan had created this piece. Until someone pointed it out to her, she didn’t realize that the central figure appears to be two people about to embrace.
Susan intends to go on painting also. She wants to do renderings of nature, flowers, and plants, even vases, with or without flowers.
