Susan Giacometti
has quietly developed her skills as
a master printmaker for more than 20
years. Her specialty is intaglio
printing. Her favorite printmaking
technique combines drypoint with
chine colle and the use of stencils
and transparent color.
Giacometti’s prints are usually
abstract but, upon occasion, she
produces a series of figurative work
based on a particular theme. Her
most recent series was “Lobstermen
of Maine.”

Giacometti’s paintings are usually
about people and what she calls
“little moments, people doing
everyday things.” As subjects, she
is also fond of animals (whose
character and intelligence she
values greatly). She creates 10
small collages a year, whimsical
delights that have become
increasingly popular.

has had two successful exhibitions
in Europe. She is also represented
by a gallery in Maine.
