It is with great sadness that we announce the death of longtime Viridian Artist, Deborah Sudran. Deborah was a gifted painter, fascinated with plants and nature. In the past, her paintings were collected by major corporations and institutions and she was preparing a new body of work to show next season. A gifted painter, Deborah used color to heighten the impact of her vision and photography to create the groundwork for her intensely vibrant portraits of plant life. Through her paintings she sought to communicate her emotional response to nature with compelling color and powerful imagery. She attended the Kansas Art Institute and the University of Michigan. In addition to exhibiting at Viridian, her work was shown in many museums and galleries including the Museum of the Hudson Highlands, the Westport Nature Center, the Aldrich Museum of contemporary Art, The Arsenal Gallery in NYC and was featured in the Art in Embassies program in Guyana, South America.
