Published on: August 5, 2021
Susan Barrett never had a career path. An artist by trade, she approached her life and employment as she would a painting, “you have a general idea and then you kind of find your way to the end.”
That’s why her resume reads like an accolade of aesthetically charged experiences from art consultancy to designing the World Chess Hall of Fame. Somehow, the latter spurred her production of A Queen Within, an exhibit that explores the plurality of personalities within a queen through fashion, photography, film, and artwork.Â
