Artist's Talk Honoring Susan Crapo (deceased), Featured Artist of October/November 2025

Описание: Thank you very much to those of you who could join us for our Artist's Talk honoring our Featured Artist of October/November 2025, Susan Crapo. We are very grateful to Susan's sister, Trish, and her husband, Tom, for putting together such a wonderful slideshow of Susan's work and words, and for giving the community a platform to remember Susan and appreciate her artwork. 

The Susan Crapo Memorial Scholarship Fund
We are honored to announce the new Susan Crapo Memorial Scholarship Fund at the Leo Marchutz School of Painting & Drawing. Through a combination of sales of Susan's artwork, organized by her sister Trish Crapo, and generous donations by the LMSP&D community, this scholarship will support women of all ages and backgrounds in attending programs and workshops at the LMSP&D.

Susan attended the Leo Marchutz School of Painting & Drawing for the year-long program in 1979–1980, and returned in 1981 for the summer session. The school was pivotal for her, as it is not only where she learned to paint, but where she committed to the work of being an artist. Many lifelong friendships were forged there as well. Throughout her life, Susan worked seriously and enthusiastically in charcoal, graphite, oil pastel, watercolor, gouache and oils. She often said that she returned to drawing when things got hard. Susan was drawing right up until her final days, sketching the flowers on her bedside table and the friends who came to see her.

To view works by Susan, please visit her website (www.susancrapoartist.com). To inquire about purchasing a particular piece by Susan (with proceeds going to the Susan Crapo Memorial Scholarship Fund), please reach out to Trish Crapo.
