Suzanne Rose at TAP’s Lobby Gallery

“Still Point” by Suzanne Rose.

Suzanne Rose’s Sketches of Poetry and Place is currently on display at Third Avenue Playhouse’s Lobby Gallery through New Year’s. The series is a visual meditation on the natural world inspired by poetic symbolism in all four seasons.

“Sketches” is a meditation on the natural world inspired by poetic symbolism and metaphor. Though American poets from the first half of the 20th century have greatly influenced Rose’s work, it is haiku that triggered her fresh awareness. In an act of recognition, the images in this series narrow life to a single moment in its purest essence. Soft focus acts as a metaphor for memory while sharpness is a celebration of new discovery.

Rose lives and works in Wisconsin and is a National Foundation for the Advancement in the Arts (NFAA) fellow, and a five-time recipient of the Wisconsin Arts Board fellowship for individuals.

TAP’s Lobby Gallery is located at 239 North Third Avenue in Sturgeon Bay, and is open Tuesday through Friday from 12 – 5 pm. For more information visit ThirdAvenuePlayhouse.com.
