Susan Teague Art

As I was walking through the Portage District Library, a colorful art series really caught my eye. After taking a few pictures, I read the “About the Artist and Author” bio on the wall which explained that Teague’s, “Goddess, You and Me Sister” series began in 2010 and are actually colored tissue paper and glue. No paint or other medium is used. The thin pieces of tissue were meticulously cut and placed in position with a toothpick.

Teague’s creations “celebrate the contemporary Woman, while validating her spectacular humanness as a champion in her own everyday story while recognizing her core askance as a universaL GODDESS.”

She had now published a companion Goddess Galore, You and Me Sister book to go along with her art.

Kalamazoo, area artist Susan Teague received her A.S. in Liberal Arts from Kalamazoo Valley Community College and B.S. in Fine Art from Western Michigan University in the early 1970s. She continued her post graduate studies and studied with several well-known artists.

Southwest Michigan knows her best for the 9,000 sq. ft. of painted murals at the New Bronson Children’s Hospital. Susan was selected as one of the top three inspirational stories of 2001, 2002 and 2012 by Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids television news stations for her journey through end stages of cancer while painting the murals.

Stop by the Portage District Library through the end of August to see Susan Teague’s great art. You can also see and read more at susanteagueart.com
