On Thursday, January 14, 2016 at 6:30pm, the St. Tammany Art Association hosts a gallery talk with Suzanne King. Suzanne will discuss her new show entitled “String Theory: The Art of Manipulation” and how her pieces, through the use of androgynous figures, reflect how we are affected by forces within ourselves, outside influences, and those pressures and energies that we cannot control.
Suzanne has been drawing since she was five years old and graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University as an art major. Suzanne continued her studies at Tulane University, where she participated in group shows and won awards in local and regional events. For twenty-four years, Suzanne worked for Shell Oil Company, as its first female draftsman, where she did house publications, television and print media and created graphics for the New Orleans cultural community. Later, she taught art at the expatriate school in Shekou, China, for nearly three years and traveled around the area exploring other art forms. Suzanne returned to Covington in 1994. String Theory will be an exhibition of new work and on display from December 5, 2015 – February 6, 2016.
The St. Tammany Art Association is located at 320 N. Columbia Street, Covington, LA 70433. The exhibition and gallery talk are free and open to the public.
