About

Welcome. I’m, Sue Torngren, a painter living and working in Sacramento, California. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Art from U.C. Davis, where I studied during what might have been the heyday of the art department. I also studied at Sacramento City College and U.C. San Diego.

I have shown in numerous venues over my career including University of Nevada, Reno; Artist’s Contemporary Gallery, Sacramento; Davis Art Center, Davis; SF Moma, San Francisco; E Street Gallery, Sacramento; Center for Contemporary Art, Sacramento; MONCA, Chico; University Art, Sacramento; CSUS, Sacramento; Candy Store, Folsom; Verge Center for the Arts, Sacramento, Exploding Head Gallery, Sacramento, Sacramento City College, Sacramento and others.

Painting is a joy and a task master. It is relentlessly present in my life, staring me down, calling my name, and will guilt me when ignored. Like a small child, it is ever changing and challenging. My hope is that my paintings take wing, find new homes and they bring joy to others.

Land and Sky-Scapes are the constant. However, I enjoy and look forward to subjects and places that peak my interest and challenge me to alter direction.

In September, I generally host an annual Open Studio.
