Bio: Susan Fecho, prominent and award-winning Eastern North Carolina artist, is a resident of historic Tarboro, NC. Her lifelong devotion to art includes over twenty years of teaching and working with art students in the United States and abroad. She holds an advanced degree (M.F.A. 1988) from East Carolina University (Greenville, NC). She completed additional educational training at the Humboldt Field Research Center (1998, Eagle Hill, Maine), Penland School of Crafts (summers of 1988-1991, Penland, NC), Jan Van Eyck Academy (1997, Maastrict, Holland), and Goldsmith College, (1979, London, England). Fecho sees her art as an eclectic fusion of digital and fine art; assembling disparate cultures into social, personal and political landscapes as she seek relationships between the variables. The work investigates the sensory experience of travel. How will the memory express a particular area's geographic assemblage of forms and boundaries?
