Juror
Suzanne Packer
Suzanne M. Packer’s work has since been exhibited and collected from New England to California, Greece, and Pakistan. It is in many private and corporate collections, including the Cahoon Museum of American Art, the Cape Cod Museum of Art, and the Provincetown Art Association and Museum.
Packer became the founding Director of the Cape Cod Museum of Art in 1983, after living in Mexico City, Mexico and London, England. Her formal training includes the Rhode Island School of Design, the Art Students League of New York City, and the Fine Arts Work Center of Provincetown. During the Cape Cod years she has maintained studio spaces at the Brewster Street Studios, Provincetown, MA, the A Street Studios and the Fenway Studios, both Boston, MA and the Owl Studios at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod. Now her unruly Bass River gardens and the ever-changing waters of Cape Cod find their way into her work at her Horse Way Studio.
Cape Waters Abstracted was a solo exhibition of her paintings held at the Cape Cod Museum of Art in 2018. Other one-person exhibitions over the years have included the Cahoon Museum of American Art in 1997. She has been included in numerous juried shows in the region.
