    The Stan State Art Space is thrilled to announce the opening of our new exhibition Susan Stephenson:  A New Look from January 28 -- March 14, 2025.

    California vineyards, San Francisco streets, and Louisiana views are on display in the latest exhibition of paintings and drawings by Turlock artist Susan Stephenson, an Associate Professor in the Art Department at Stan State. Stephenson sees vivid color interactions everywhere, finding inspiration in widely acknowledged “beautiful” vistas as well as in the unexpected vitality of “ordinary” sunlit street signs. Celebrating the exuberant colors glimpsed during our day-to-day lives, Stephenson’s latest artworks are a dose of optimism in today’s world.

    Best known for the panoramic oil paintings she develops from direct observation, Stephenson uses scenery from everyday life and transforms it through an exploration of color and light. A native of Louisiana, she received her BFA degree from Louisiana Tech University and her MFA degree from Boston University, where she studied with John Moore. After living and teaching in southern New England for over twenty years, Stephenson now lives in California’s San Joaquin Valley and teaches in the Art Department of the California State University, Stanislaus.

    Original oil paintings on birch panels and walnut ink wash drawings on paper will be on display during the exhibition Susan Stephenson:  A New Look at the Stan State Art Space from January 28 -- March 14, 2025 with a reception Thursday, February 6 from 6:00 -- 8:00 p.m. with an artist talk at 6:30 p.m.

    The gallery is located at 226 N. First Street in downtown Turlock. Admission is free of charge, and gallery hours are 12:00 noon -- 5:00 p.m. Tuesday -- Sunday. Free on-street parking is available.
