Art TRADER m a g a z i n e Defining Mail Art In Issue 2 of Art Trader Magazine, we asked our readers to help us define Mail Art. We asked people to create their own artistic interpretation of their definition of “mail art” by emailing us their creations - open media, open genre. Our winning entry, a postcard, was sent in by Marguerite Bryant from California. jkjgflv -8-
Art TRADER m a g a z i n e D Paint! Paste! Color! Suzan Buckner is a mixed-media master whose body of work includes meticulous abstract masterpieces, fun D and funky art journals, and whimsical portraiture. Her attention to detail and the fine-tuned play of color brings forth work that is multi-dimensional in not only physical layers, but in conceptual layers as well. An antique dealer as well as artist, Suzan shares with us her sources of inspiration, and advice for those wanting to venture into collage. D Suzan: My family consists of my husband Chuck (who I met on the Internet 8 years ago, and have been married to for 7), and my 21 year old daughter--who I affectionately refer to as “She who knows everything.” She’s in nursing school, and I am very proud of her. I also have 2 step-daughters, and 4 step-grandchildren. Additionally, I am the owner of Petey the Wonderdog. Petey was an abused dog that wondered into my yard a little over a year ago, and whom I fell in love with. He helped me get over the “empty nest” syndrome when my daughter moved away to college, and for that he has been my saving grace in life. He’s still not very social with humans, but neither am I, so we understand each other perfectly. Can you start by telling us a little bit about your family? Did you study art in school? -9- D Suzan: The only art that I have studied was in high school. I graduated in 1982, and a year and a half ago--I decided I wanted to be an artist. After being out of high school for 25 years, I started doing art. What artists have inspired you over time? Suzan Buckner Interview by Andrea Melione Suzan: When I first started doing mixed media collage the journal pages of Teesha Moore inspired me. I looked at the art of others, and was inspired by many, many more artists along the way. I still constantly check out other artists’ work, and am still inspired by a great deal of it that I find on the Web.
