Susan Osborn
Susan Osborn taught art at The Bishop’s School for 17 years. Keeping a studio at home, she works in assemblage, drawing, and painting. Her work reveals a love of energy through line, texture, and color. Susan’s work is in collections in the United States, Denmark, Japan, and Spain. She is listed in Who’s Who of American Women (25th edition). Among her many awards, she has received a Visual Artists Assistance Award from the State of California, awards at SDMA, the San Diego Art Institute, Bonita Museum, and Small Image Show. She is a member of the National Collage Society, Artist Alliance (OMA), and SDMA, and President of West Coast Drawing. Susan says:
“As I put things together to make my art, I laugh. The memories evoked when putting old objects together can be humorous and surprising. There is something very special about the process. Something old becomes new—a reverse metamorphosis like our lives. The parts that go into a piece have had lives as something else. Now they are given a second life in a magical way. The mundane becomes more whimsical!"
For the Fall 2023 Session, Susan is teaching the following class:
