Susan Mains

Susan Mains is an artist/curator who lives and works in Grenada. Her work developed as acrylic, oil, or mixed media on canvas. She also creates installations of variable size.
Mains' curatorial practise has been auto-didactic by necessity. Without strong institutional support in a small island, artists often have to take leadership. Organizing group shows from Grenada, she has taken contemporary work to the Caribbean Region, including the Museum of Modern Art in Santo Domingo for several Caribbean Biennales. Her efforts have included exhibitions at the OAS Museum in Washington DC, and the World Expo in Shanghai China in 2010. She writes about the art of the small islands of the Eastern Caribbean, and has presented papers in academic conferences world-wide. She has operated her own commercial gallery in Grenada, Art and Soul, for the past 13 years.
