The St. Andrew’s-Sewanee Art Gallery currently features the work of Susan Harrison, a seasoned artistic educator who has been an exhibiting member of the Pyro Gallery in Louisville, Kentucky, since 2005.

The show is titled “Keeping Cozy during COVID and Crossing Paths.”

Over the years, Harrison has developed art installations concerning the nature of comfort and security, recently creating COVID comfort blankets and personal flotation devices as a metaphor for how people keep themselves afloat and navigate troubled times.

Harrison dedicated this show to the incredible resiliency and staying power of her many art students over the years. Her work stems from being sequestered in her house during the pandemic in 2020 and reflecting on her life choices and the paths she took.

In addition to teaching art in high school, Harrison is an instructor for the Kentucky Governor’s School for the Arts and maintains her personal studio at the Brick Street Gallery, located in New Albany, Indiana.
