| Suzanne Wallace Mears Artist Biography
Mears' training includes degrees from the University of Iowa, postgraduate work in both fine art and art education at the University of Iowa and the University of Wisconsin. Mears taught several years in the Iowa public school system before moving to Oklahoma City and devoting herself full time as a professional artist. Her compositional designs are based on recuring themes - the mask, things around her; everyday things she grew up with. Traveling for years throughout Asia, Europe, the Caribbean, Mexico and the United States has provided an unending flood of ideas, a fascination with history and archaeology. Her work has been shown in many galleries throughout the US and is in many private and corporate collections. Articles about Suzanne's work have been published in local magazines, including Quail Creek News, Oklahoma Today, and Distinctly Oklahoma. Suzanne consistently contributes to the arts through donations of her work and juried national and local art fund raising events. Major public installations include the OU Health Sciences Center, OUHSC's Harold Hamm Diabetes Center, Variety Care Foundation, The Metro Wine Bar and Bistro and The 501 on Classen Curve in Oklahoma City.
