Art Gallery 71 Presents "Eclectic Groove" by Susan Spivak (Dec. 11-Jan. 3)

Susan Spivak's work centers on curiosity, experimentation, and the expressive power of color. As lifelong creative person, she spent many years exploring artistic expression through music, jewelry design, and handcrafts before turning her focus more fully to painting. What began as an experiment quickly became a daily studio practice and a source of ongoing discovery. Her paintings evolve through play, observation, and an openness to new techniques. Some works emerge from landscapes and botanical forms; others unfold through color studies and intuitive movement on the canvas. Viewers are often drawn to the emotional quality of her work — the way color and gesture create a sense of movement, atmosphere, and quiet storytelling.

This show will include her most current artwork and some jewelry. In addition, CDs of her original music will be available for purchase.
