VIEW the ART WORK of SUE WESTIN

Sue Westin has come a long way from her days as a five year old studying art at the Wadsworth Athenaeum in Hartford, Connecticut. Over the years Westin has been a versatile artist, an explorer of mediums and subjects. Once a stone sculptor, then a theorem painter, and for several years an avid watercolorist, she now paints primarily in oils. Her subjects have diversified as well. If one could view a complete collection of her works, one would find not only wildlife, but also domestic animals, still-life's, landscapes, boat scenes, and, most recently, human portraiture.

Today she and her artist husband, John C. Pitcher, live in beautiful Dorset, Vermont, where they share studio space and operate Gallery On The Marsh. For them art has become a way of life. Sue Westin's works have been exhibited in Canada, Japan, Sweden, Germany, Kenya, The National Arts For The Parks Competitions and museums throughout the United States. She has exhibited repeatedly in the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum's annual"Birds In Art" exhibitions and in every annual juried exhibition of the international Society Of Animal Artists from 1979 through 1998. Westin has won numerous awards from national and international exhibitions. She and John C. Pitcher exhibited their "Kindred Spirits" exhibition of more than seventy works of art at the Hiram Blauvelt Art Museum in Oradell, New Jersey, Sept. - Dec. 2000. In May 0f 2001 Westin and Pitcher exhibited "Kindred Spirits - Reflections On New England" at the Southern Vermont Center in Manchester, Vermont.
