Assunta Fox Gallery is an art exhibit space developed in 2003 by the artist as a promotional cooperative in which she and other artists can exhibit their work.  Susan's work can also be viewed at the Rourke Studio Gallery in Laguna Beach, NY Upper Crust Restaurants in Irvine, Marina Hills, El Toro, Foot Hill Ranch and at the Huntington Beach Visitors Center.

The Gallery name is formulated by transforming the Italian translation of the artist’s name.   Assunta is the Italian word for Susan while Volpe’ is the Italian translation of the word Fox. The gallery is named in loving memory of the artist’s Aunt.

Former New York Artist - Graduate Parsons School of Design. Susan earned a MS in Arts Administration while focusing on Fabric Design and Education.  Inspiration for her early floral designs is artist Gustov Klimpt and fabric designer Charles Renee’ Macontosh.  Her art can always be viewed as pure process since a layering of techniques and applications have  dominated although the medium, culminating result and product has changed. 
In the summer of 2003, Susan enjoyed an art residency on the island of Skolpolos,  Greece.   She studied print making, applied a dominance of color to create beautiful silk screens, mono-prints and paintings based on photographs she took of the island. 

In December 2006 she traveled to Italy.  The work during this period is based on this trip and a stop in her home town. The transformation of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, NY to a new artist and gallery hot spot was the end of this trip.  Her current technique is in Mixed Media, a culmination of process oriented original paintings.    

"I enjoy working with water-based transparent and opaque paints and inks. My early work in painting was conceived through an observation of nature and design. My garden empowers me to paint. I see flowers which grace my path each day and feel they are familiar friends. I embrace their beauty and record their place on this earth. I have always felt that to invent from what I see is far more interesting than to just paint what is actually there."

"The Assunta Fox Gallery is my studio and loft space where showcase my art.  I share my walls with other California artists and have developed a promotional cooperative in which other artists can exhibit their work."
