Susan Bardos-Dobbek

 

Susan is originally from Hungary and immigrated to Canada at a young age. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from McGill University. She also attended courses at the Visual Centre of Montreal. Susan has explored various multimedia compositional media and has recently turned to watercolour, which has become her medium of choice. Susan is gradually transforming her work from a pure watercolourist style, incorporating traditions from Asian watercolour painting, including the washi paper collage technique and other Eastern techniques. She regularly attends symposiums to learn new techniques and media, such as inking, alcohol painting, and stained glass painting.

 

She has participated in several group exhibitions in Quebec, Ontario, and Hungary: Some exhibitions include: MAA (Club MAA) Montreal, Quebec: "Portals - A trilogy"; HUVAC (Hungarian Cultural Centre, Toronto, Ontario): "Art Brings Us Together"; Montreal, Maison de la culture; "Re: InSitu" Kirkland, Quebec, Media Room; "DoubleVision:"

 

During the summer and fall of 2009, Susan participated in a series of exhibitions that toured art museums in Hungary, showcasing the work of approximately 40 Canadian artists of Hungarian origin. This project was a kaleidoscope of art, presenting a variety of disciplines, media, and styles. Participants included internationally renowned artists as well as award-winning creators. All contributed to the tapestry of Canadian multiculturalism.

 

Susan is a member of: CHAC (Canadian Hungarian Artist Collective), AAB (Beaconsfield Artists Association), LAA (Lakeshore Artists Association)
