Susan Olmetti's super expressionistic new series

Emerging artist, Susan Olmetti will kick-off her nationwide tour of her newest series "The Outdoor Girls" at the Chelsea Hotel, NY (date to be announced).

"The Outdoor Girls" is one installment of a three-part collection called "Brothers and Sisters and Bubbles", which also includes the photographic self-portrait series "Definitions of the Force of Life and Sexuality," and "Gusts of Reality," a painting, performance and music tribute to Olmetti's late father, Joseph Michael Olmetti, with musician Tyrone Noonan.

"The Outdoor Girls" series consist of ten avatars designed by Olmetti, who says that each "Girl" in the series is an interpretation of the independent spirit of women. "The 'Girls' demonstrate a theme that runs through much of my work: Love without faith forms a dying flower. They are very much thriving, and so they are embodiments of the combined force of love and faith," comments Olmetti.

Accompanying the premiere of the paintings will be a live, one-time performance featuring ten women in a candlelight procession. Each woman will wear a unique piece of clothing hand-embroidered by Olmetti.

Olmetti's self-portraits exude her inner strength and the struggles she surpasses as a bi-polar individual. Her oil on paper avatars are Rochard Tests defining the personalities of the women they represent.

"I can never imagine, or even expect, any one person to feel the exact same emotion that I feel when I create a painting." -- Susan Olmetti

Her main mission is to display the true spirit of general philanthropy and to give to others the confidence and support in their personal and professional dreams.
