Meet the juror of the Radford City Fine Arts Show
|
|
|
Sue Steele Thomas is a featured poster artist and her paintings are on exhibit at a museum this spring, but she is undertaking one more task. She is the juror of the Radford City Fine Arts Show.
Thomas, an alumna of the Radford University’s MFA Art program and an art professor at Virginia Western Community College, paints in gouache, which she defines as opaque watercolor. Her preferred subject matter is vintage automobiles. “I consider automobiles to be works of art; they are moving pieces of sculpture,” she said, “An intrigue comes from the shiny shapes and reflections from ordinary objects that become unique images on the surface of these machines. I am compelled to find solutions in how to manufacture the images that are created by these reflections.”
