The Artist Susan Heidi (b.1964)

As the pinup comeback is gaining a fever pitch in the areas of art, fashion, and pop culture throughout the world, New York artist Susan Heidi (born 5th December, 1964) has been skilfully rendering figurative works that celebrate the retro pinup models at the centre of the trend. The artist feels that it is the provocative nature of the tease that makes retro pinups so desirable even in modern times.

Susan is a self-taught artist who began drawing figurative works at age five and quickly fell in love with the ability to create a likeness on paper. The inspiration for her pinup art is today's retro movement which embraces the nostalgia of a bygone era and spices it up with a modern, take-charge attitude. In breaking with the traditional view of the pinup model, Susan's inspiring ladies are independent, entrepreneurial types who showcase their individuality through their unique retro glamour, rockabilly, and burlesque styles.

Susan's pinups are typically painted in watercolour or acrylic paints using a technique the artist developed to create an image that comes alive. Her greatest artistic influences are Alberto Vargas, Adolphe-William Bouguereau, and Leonardo da Vinci - artists who were celebrated for their ability to capture the sinuous curves and come hither looks of beautiful women. Susan's skill at rendering luminous skin tones has become a signature characteristic of her pinup style which has been compared to that of well known pinup masters.

Within a year of beginning to exhibit her pinups on her website, www.susanheidi.com, Susan's work was exhibited by invitation with the top erotic artists from around the world and is being collected in the United States and Europe.

In more recent news, Susan's work titled "Fishnet Stockings" was juried into the "World's Greatest Erotic Art" competition, ensuring the artist a place in history with her work included in the competition's commemorative book and an exhibition tour of the US and Europe. From May through October 2008, Susan's work is slated to temporarily reside within galleries in Miami, Montréal, Berlin, Amsterdam and London.
