Suzanne Jacquot has been an abstract painter for over 20 years. Her urge to create is strong and has led her in various directions before settling on acrylic painting. She received her BA in design, her MFA in ceramics and photography and and an AT (Art Therapy) credential. For many years, Suzanne ran her own successful graphic design business in the San Francisco Bay Area and was the associate dean of students at CCA in San Francisco before becoming a full time professional painter/teacher.

In 1998, Suzanne moved to Sonoma County to live a quieter life of painting and teaching and in 2018, she had the marvelous opportunity to design and build her dream home and studio. Her home/studio sits in the rural lowlands of Sebastopol next door to vineyards and the West County trail.

It has been Suzanne’s love of nature that has kept her exploring the rich environment where she lives bringing the colors of nature and her personal experiences into the studio. In her words:

“While walking in Nature, I am touched by the vulnerability, resilience, preservation and change of all of life and the underlying deeper truth of a constant stream of energy which never changes and which unifies everything.

My paintings explore connection, relationship and belonging. 

In a world where individual desires are primary, often self-serving and without contemplative thought, I want my paintings to help the viewer pause, reflect on our interdependence, and create a deep gratitude and love for the world and being alive.”

Besides her own painting practice, she does private mentoring, runs ART SALON which invites abstract artists from the greater bay area to share their life, art and ideas, and is part of a small group of artists who support one another in their own professional art.
