Artist Bio: Suzanne Rexford-Winston has been making art as long as she can remember, and teaching others to make art since the late 80s. For nearly 20 years, she taught visual arts in several public schools in Central Vermont, as well as CCV, and for a few semesters at former Johnson State College and at Union Institute University when it was in Montpelier. She earned an MEd in Arts Integration from Lesley College (now University) in Cambridge, MA. Rexford-Winston’s extensive knowledge and work with a variety of media led her to a career as an art teacher. She strongly believes that the arts provide a language for communication and expression that anyone can learn and appreciate. Currently, she belongs to a group called the Collagistas, a group of collage artists that meets and exhibits in Central Vermont, who have had several group shows together.

Artist Statement: Over the years I’ve spent significant time working on a vast body of work in soft pastels, printmaking, bookmaking, papier mache and of course, collage. I am drawn to color, pattern, and texture, and enjoy adding a bit of whimsy or daring to my work. I often begin by selecting images I think will go well together and begin to arrange them, adding, subtracting until a composition that pleases me reveals itself and the piece feels finished. Then the hard work begins; gluing things down, trimming here and there, and continuing to make edits as needed. It’s time consuming, and I sometimes have to dig deep to find that special piece that will be the crowning glory! Currently, I find myself eager to explore, branching out into painting and drawing with more focus. By adding painted backgrounds to my most recent collages, I play around with texture and color. This does not mean that I will give up collage, but it may take more of a backseat, at least for a little while.
