In all things creative, what gets overlooked is the absolute uniqueness of every individual. Suzanne Warren Powell will provide an overview of some of the paths, people and ideas that affected her artistic journey.

Suzanne has been teaching Fine Art and mentoring in Creativity since 1985, through the City of Ottawa, regional School Boards, Art Associations and her own studio. Previously, she earned degrees in the Arts, Education and has Master’s degree in Educational Technology. As a result, she is well-known for creating and designing new and exciting classes in the fine arts.

Originally destined to be a performance musician, Suzanne learned to play musical instruments and sang in professional groups. However, she resumed a keen interest in painting and soon won several awards. Teaching offers quickly followed.

In 2001, Suzanne co-founded OMMA (Ottawa Mixed Media Artists) with two of her students to further the awareness of, and showcase Mixed Media painting which she had been teaching for several years. OMMA currently exhibits throughout the capital region. On its inception, Suzanne was honoured with the title of permanent artist/mentor for OMMA.

Her love of nature and a Zen approach to life and creativity has led Suzanne into the arts and culture of the Far East. She practices Miksang photography, a form of meditative Tibetan Dharma art and writes Haiku poetry. Suzanne lives on a large rural property which features trails through meadows, woods and wetlands. This untamed landscape renews her artistic vision every day.

Recently, Suzanne has been teaching Wabi Sabi art (the Japanese aesthetic branch of Zen philosophy), Japonisme and Expressive Drawing. This presentation will be in English.

Ce qui est négligé dans la créativité est l'unicité absolue de chaque individu. Suzanne Warren Powell donnera un aperçu de son cheminement, des personnes et des idées qui ont influencé son parcours artistique.

Depuis 1985, Suzanne enseigne les beaux-arts, le mentorat en créativité auprès du Cité d’Ottawa, des conseils scolaires, des associations artistiques de la région et de son studio. Suzanne a obtenu plusieurs diplômes universitaires notamment en beaux-arts, en éducation ainsi qu’une maîtrise en technologie éducative. Elle est bien connue pour sa passion, sa création et sa conception de nouvelles classes stimulantes dans le domaine des beaux-arts.

Á l’origine destinée à être musicienne, Suzanne a appris à jouer des instruments de musique. Elle a chanté dans divers groupes professionnels. Cependant, son intérêt marqué pour la peinture lui a permis de remporter plusieurs prix d’excellence. Par la suite, des offres d'enseignement s’en sont suivies.

En 2001, Suzanne a cofondé OMMA (Ottawa Mixed Media Artists) avec deux de ses élèves afin de sensibiliser et valoriser la peinture mixte qu'elle enseigne depuis plusieurs années. Les artistes de OMMA exposent actuellement au sein de la capitale. Lors de la création de OMMA, Suzanne obtint le titre honorifique de mentor et d’artiste permanent.

Son amour pour la nature et son approche zen de la vie et de la créativité l’a conduite vers les arts et la culture de l'Extrême-Orient. Elle pratique la photographie de Miksang, une forme d'art Dharma tibétain méditatif et elle écrit de la poésie Haïku.

Suzanne vit dans une zone rurale qui lui offre divers sentiers boisés et de terres humides. Ce paysage sauvage renouvelle chaque jour sa vision artistique.

Récemment, Suzanne enseigne l'esthétique japonaise ‘wabi-sabi’ (branche esthétique japonaise imprégnée de la philosophie zen), le dessin d’expression et le japonisme. Cette présentation sera faite en anglais seulement.
