SIGNE STUART | WORK UP TO 2006

"My paintings are mnemonic devices triggering resonance with the dynamics of nature ... the interplay of seen and unseen, of being and becoming. They are my ways of knowing and my means for discovering kinds of order. In the end, my work is about conjuring beauty."

Born in New London, Connecticut in 1937. After a career spent as an artist and educator in the Midwest, Signe Stuart currently resides in Santa Fe. Stuart earned her B.A. from the University of Connecticut (1959), and her M.A. from the University of New Mexico (1961). She also studied painting at the Yale-Norfolk Summer School. Stuart is a Professor Emeritus at South Dakota State University. Stuart has received many awards including an NEA Fellowship in Painting and two, Art-in-Public Places Commissions.

Stuart's detailed canvases have been shown in exhibitions throughout the United States, and her work is in many public and corporate collections.
