Susan Tunick, artist and President of Friends of Terra Cotta, received a B.A. and M.F.A. from Bennington College in Vermont.
Tunick presents ceramic tiles and free standing works that reflect her strong interest in color, texture, and form. The playfully patterned and brilliant clay pieces utilize negative space along with layers of complimentary and striking colors. Influenced by a number of sources, including her training in painting, perhaps the most dominant one has been architecture. Susan Tunick states, “Many of the exceptional buildings I have studied have helped to foster my love of geometry. Building units – whether bricks, roof tiles or hexagonal pavers – and the repetition and variation they make possible, have played an important role in my work.”
One of her publications, Terra-Cotta Skyline (1997) won that year’s New York Society Library Award and the Brendan Gill Award from the MAS. She recently completed a commission include three outdoor clay and cedar sculptures for a property in Vermont. In addition, she has worked on a number of public projects including: Hudson-Bergen Light Rail Station, Bayonne, NJ, murals in PS 222, Jackson Heights, Queens and varied works for 3 locations in the New York City Subway. Her work has been featured in numerous books including Public Art for Public Schools, Ceramics in the Environmentand Along The Way: MTA Arts for Transit. She has received various grants, as well as the Landmark Lion Award from Historic Districts Council (2018); the International Ceramics Award, presented by Ceramic Arts Foundation (1999) and the Tile Heritage Foundation Award (1997).

- "Untitled, " Alan Fenton, Abstract Expressionism, New York School, Color FieldLocated in New York, NYAlan Fenton (1927 - 2000) Untitled, 1958-1960 Oil on canvas 88 x 82 1/2 inches Signed on the stretcher Fenton's quiet and contemplative nonobjective paintings and drawings were widely recognized for their demanding yet understated means of revealing a serious and sober essence. He identified greatly with Mark Rothko, a friend, as well as Adolph Gottlieb and Jack Tworkov, with whom he had studied privately. Fenton painted in New York City in the late 50's as the explosion of Abstract Expressionism turned into a rebellion against gestural, emotional painting. More concerned about his art than his posture, he expanded upon a tradition in painting with influences as diverse as Whistler and Turner as well as Ad Reinhardt and Joseph Albers. Alan Fenton was born in Cleveland in 1927, studied at the Cleveland School of Art, The Arts Students League, The New School, and at NYU, earning his BFA at Pratt Institute, where he later taught painting for many years. At seventeen, Fenton served in the Merchant Marines where he began a career as a professional boxer, a skill he had honed on the streets. He moved successfully through the graphic design business en route to becoming a painter in New York at the height of the art revolution of the fifties and sixties. Fenton enjoyed success with his subtle washes and pencil drawings as well as large abstract canvases...Category
