2016 JUROR:
Susan Li O’Connor was born in Taipei, Taiwan. Her work deals with the accumulation of everyday objects and the contradictory beauty of those objects as visual eye candy to the destructive quality they have on the environment. While the transformation of a mundane object is the first thing a viewer sees, O’Connor is also entertaining questions of identity, consumerism and consumption within our culture.
O’Connor teaches at the Columbus School for Girls. She taught at the Columbus College of Art and Design from 2005-2014. She is a recipient of the Greater Columbus Arts Council (GCAC) 2013 Dresden, Germany Artist in Residency program, has received grants through the GCAC, was a juror for the 2012 Columbus Arts Festival, was board member and programming committee member of the Ohio Art League from 2008-2010. Her work has been exhibited nationally in Ohio, Colorado, California, North Carolina, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and Pennsylvania. She currently lives and works in Columbus, Ohio.

United Art and Education awards totaling $1,100 will be distributed at the discretion of the juror. Awards will be announced at the artist reception at 7pm. Rosewood Gallery encourages sales, for which the City of Kettering Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department retains a 30% commission.
