Artist Bio: Suzanne Barnes's artwork has functioned as a visual journal, allowing her to create and re-create herself as a variety of female archetypes. Although she has worked in drawing, painting and mixed media, she has consistently employed photographic self-portraits in her work. Her background in dance has played a significant role in her passion for the expression of the body and in her appreciation for a theatrical aesthetic. Her work has been exhibited in and around Toronto. She currently teaches visual arts to Grade 9 and OAC students at Humberside Collegiate. She lives with her partner Brian Eng and two cats in Toronto.
