Suzanne Shield-Polk
Beneath the Surface
Feb. 13-Mar.16, 2014

The Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts is pleased to present an exhibition featuring the work of Lone Star College-CyFair art faculty member Suzanne Shield-Polk.

Beneath the Surface features an array of work from the artist, who currently heads the ceramics area of the Art Department at LSC-CyFair. She focuses on ceramics in her artwork yet often integrates a variety of media – including encaustic wax, assemblage, and video. Her work deals with themes related to social, environmental, and metaphysical concerns informed by a life-long interest in non-Western art, primitive art, Surrealism, Dada, outsider art, and Eastern philosophy and geology.

Professor Shield-Polk first studied ceramics at Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos. After completing a BFA at the University of Texas at Austin, the artist embarked on a career in set decorating and art direction for the motion picture industry in California. Shield-Polk left the film industry to teach art and earn her MFA in Ceramics, Sculpture, and Video from California State University, Northridge. Her work has been exhibited in Houston, statewide, and nationally.

Suzanne Shield-Polk is the eighth artist to be featured in the Lone Star College System Faculty Exhibition Series at the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts.
