[/tlg_tabs_content][tlg_tabs_content icon=”” title=”Biography”]After completing her B.A. at the University of North Carolina, Suzanne Tanner studied at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and earned her M.F.A. in painting and drawing from Tulane University. She also completed her Teaching degree at the University of West Florida in Pensacola and afterwards spent years teaching art in various schools and at the Governor’s school for Gifted in the Visual Arts students in Charlottesville.

In addition to Tanner’s vigorous studio practice and her large scale charcoal paintings often of dogs and cows, Tanner has written and designed two childrens’ books using her unique torn paper collages to illustrate them. These have won great praise in such papers as the New York Times Book Review. She has work in many public and private collections, including  the Battle building at the University of Virginia’s Children Hospital.
