Susan Savage

Susan Savage is a native of California who lives with her husband in Santa Barbara, CA, USA. Both are retired teachers. Susan received her BA in Art, a lifetime secondary teaching credential, and her MFA from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Having taught in the Santa Barbara public school system, she finished her final 23 years of teaching at Westmont College, Santa Barbara, in 2014. Susan’s focus in teaching was to nurture the voices of her students. It was during her tenure at Westmont College that she found her own voice as a painter, and now continues her metaphorical endeavors to make visible that which is invisible. II Corinthians 4:18 serves as her motivation as she works to embody the truths, promises, and attributes of the Christian faith through the visual relationships of common, familiar forms. Focusing on the element of silver for its symbolic evocation of purity, refinement, and redemption, she has come to appreciate the fact that objects have the power to absorb and reveal both human and divine demeanor.
