Susan Woolgar has been working as a professional artist and educator for over 40 years. After graduating from the Alberta College of Art and Design (ACAD) in 1977, she began her career in visual communications as a graphic designer. She quickly discovered a love for teaching, and left the corporate environment of advertising to pursue other opportunities. She dove into the world of fine art, experimenting with an array of mediums including oil, watercolour, acrylic, pastel and various printing methods. All the while, she was teaching for various institutions and communities across Canada. Susan's love for abstract art emerged during her “Under my Feet” exhibition in 2007. During this time, she began to explore the scale, form and traditional styling of her previous subject matter. Her unique sense of colour combined with her ability to balance reality and feeling has propelled her work onto an international stage. Through the reach of the online art community, Susan has been teaching her “Abstracting the Landscape” course to students across the globe.
