Susan Minot (b.1956) is an acclaimed writer and painter, born in Boston and raised in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts, with six siblings who are all artists. She attended Concord Academy, Brown University, and Columbia University where she received an MFA in creative writing in 1983 and a MacDowell Colony fellowship in Peterborough, NH in 1984. Her debut novel, Monkeys, won the Prix Femina Etranger in 1986 and established Minot on the literary scene where she has been a fixture ever since. In 1995, Minot co-wrote Stealing Beauty with that film's Academy Award winning director, Bernardo Bertolucci. Her novel Evening, nominated for the LA Book Award, was a worldwide bestseller and became a major motion picture in 2007. Minot has always made watercolor paintings as what she calls "a way of meditating", and also explores the same themes of sex, relationships and family found in her novels, poems and short stories through collages; drawing from found materials film stills, family photos, magazine snippets, this work confounds and delights. Minot teaches at Stony Brook University and lives in New York City and North Haven, an island off the coast of Maine. Her work has been shown at Area Gallery (Rockland, ME), North Haven Gallery, One Mile Gallery, NYC, and The Shala, NYC.
