Susan G Abbott (b. 1957, Regina) is a contemporary artist in acrylics, collage and relief printmaking, living and working in Toronto, Canada. 

Abbott’s art education was acquired over many years of private study, and studio workshops. She has shown successfully in solo, group and juried shows in Toronto. She is a past-President of the Don Valley Art Club, and a former marketing researcher and management consultant.

A refugee from corporate life in the financial services industry, she made a living as a qualitative marketing researcher and customer experience consultant until the pull of art and life required her full time attention.

She spends time every summer in the Canadian Shield, a landscape that appears often in her work.

Abbott is currently represented by Artmatch.ca

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Work is available from Artmatch.ca or directly from the artist. If you are interested in a particular work, please get in touch, and I will help you find it, send you high resolution images, or arrange a studio visit to see it in real life. My studio is in Midtown Toronto.

(My actual studio space is small and stuffed to the gills with work in process, piles of collage materials, linocut tools, too many paint brushes, and probably a bit of coffee. I’ll give you a peek, but then we can bring pieces into my nice tidy sunroom where we can have a coffee and look at art together from a comfortable chair.)

Exhibition List and C.V.

I’ve been showing my work pretty consistently since 2001. If you’d like the full list of exhibitions and courses, and even a few awards, feel free to download the whole blah, blah, blah below.

I curated a show called “FOREST” in 2022 involving four other artists. Video from that show is shown below.
