JUROR
Susan Montgomery is a Western Massachusetts Artist and Teacher/Lecturer at the Smith College Department of Art. Her art practice includes painting and drawing; however, the concept of the work often requires a multidisciplinary approach involving sculpture and installation. Her work focuses on the presentation of women in history, culture, and memory. The women she explores include heroes, decried antiheroes, literary figures, and other women regarded for their strength of vision or voice. Some of her subjects include the Radium Girls, Maria Sklodowska-Curie, Hester Prynne, Pope Joan, the Daughters of Saint Crispin, and Mary Bliss Parsons, the accused Witch of Northampton.
Montgomery is a recipient of the Blanch E. Coleman Award, Mellon Foundation, and Sustainable Artist Foundation Grant Award. She has exhibited her work at venues including the Fuller Art and Craft Museum, Museum of Springfield History at the Springfield Quadrangle Museums, Five College Women’s Resource Center at Mount Holyoke College, Historic Northampton Museum, A.P.E. Ltd. Gallery and the Trustman Gallery at Simmons College.
