Marissa is jumping for joy to have artist Susan Maddux on the pod this week! "Life is not to just be endured." - Susan Maddux They go deep people: Curiosity, art, flow, mindset, art's place in culture and more! Susan Maddux is a Los Angeles based artist whose work combines painting and sculpture into unique forms evocative of the colors and warmth of her native Hawaii and influenced by the arts of Asia and the Pacific. She was born on the island of Oahu in Hawaii to a hapa Japanese-American family where she absorbed the influence of Japanese folk art traditions and Buddhist temples as well as the arts of Polynesia. With a Bachelors of Fine Arts in painting from the San Francisco Art Institute, she has had numerous group and solo shows in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and Honolulu. After years in New York painting in her studio in Brooklyn and designing textiles for major fashion houses, she relocated to Los Angeles in 2013. Susan brings her early experiences in the lush valleys of Hawaii and thirty years of education and experience as an artist and designer to these painted sculptural works. Each piece is made of individual acrylic paintings on canvas folded to conceal, reveal and transform the materials. Find Susan on Instagram here.
