Say it with Paint! with Susan Overstreet

Saturday, March 29, 2025, from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm. Member $80 / Non-Member $95

Materials: Student-supplied materials

Say it with Paint a day of free expression discovering your mark.  We will start with thumbnail sketches prompted by something you want to say and work into representational or abstract work.  This is an opportunity to work from your imagination. Bring your acrylic, oil, or watercolor paints, as well as other materials if you want to explore mixed media. 

This 1-day course with Susan Overstreet is offered in conjunction with She Said: A Docent Curated Exhibition from the CCMoA Permanent Collection, on view February 13 - May 20, 2025. In recognition of Women’s History Month in March, the CCMoA is featuring artworks from our Permanent Collection created by women. Women have been historically underrepresented in museum collections throughout the world. The CCMoA will take this opportunity to provide the platform and research needed to celebrate the artistic merits of regionally significant woman artists, while also examining our Permanent Collection to identify female artists who may have been overlooked in the collection. Artworks are displayed in conjunction with wall texts made possible by the research of the CCMoA Docents.

Susan Overstreet’s creative process of weaving vibrant colors with a technique of palette knife and brushwork captures a visual tapestry between abstract imagery and representation. Overstreet’s bold expressive style is driven by unique natural elements found on Cape Cod that offer an evolving kaleidoscope of color. She paints en plein air and in the studio, inspired by both landscape and the human figure. 

Susan completed studio work at George Washington University, and continued studying fine arts at the Corcoran School of Art and the Art League School of Alexandria. Her work was accepted in many juried competitions in Virginia and now on Cape Cod. Susan has taught at the Cape Cod Museum of Art, Milford Arts Council, the Cultural Center of Cape Cod (where she served as artist in residence and learning coordinator), the Creative Arts Center of Chatham, and the Provincetown Art Association and Museum. She has led sketching tours to Scotland and France. She is represented by Tracy Lindholm Nee, 780 Main Street in Dennis, MA.  SusanOverstreet.com
