About

Susan Klein (b.1979, Morristown, NJ) is an artist living in Charleston, SC. Her work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally. She teaches painting at the College of Charleston.

The recent work uses symbolic and abstract language to channel ideas of creative energy and the ritualistic utility of art. The sculptures act as devotional objects while the paintings are an incantation of the energetic spirit. Touch is venerated in this work; learning and making with one’s hands is held up as sacred and essential.
