Susie Tarnowicz is an artist, farmer and educator living and working in the Adirondacks. She is currently in residence at Asgaard Farm in Au Sable Forks, NY and making cheese for Sugarhouse Creamery. Susie has been a practicing artist for 20 years, participating in artist residencies’ and exhibiting her work both internationally and throughout New England. In education she teaches drawing and color theory to middle and high school students and regularly collaborates with advanced math programs for young adults. She is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design with a degree in painting and creative writing. Susie has been working on farms for 15 years alongside her art practice; she loves working with cows, in teams with vibrant humans and contributing to delicious, nutritious, colorful meals and table-sets.

Susie makes paintings and drawings working within the tradition of still life in art, specifically as it connects to the landscape and to the emotional body; she often communicates with her subjects through short form writing, dreamwork and imaginary agreements. Right now, she is looking to create a new body of work honoring personal loss, heartache, home and delusion. She needs a space to connect to her feminine body, her muses, her memories and foreshadowings, and she is thrilled to have an opportunity at the Recovery Lounge to do so.
