Available Original Paintings. All paintings listed are available for purchase
Susan Washington creates original abstract paintings with layered surfaces and visual narratives drawn from memories of growing up in New York City in the 1980s. Her mixed-media works feel collaborative in spirit, echoing the way city walls, subway cars, and phone booths accumulated graffiti, stickers, fragments of text, and eroded images over time.
Within these layered surfaces, the paintings carry a range of narratives - love, resilience, empowerment, personal memory, and cultural reference - revealed through marks, transfers, lyrics, quotes, and found imagery. Each work builds an intuitive, lived-in surface that feels both personal and collective. Click any image below to view details and purchase information.
