"Suzanne Falk is a self-taught artist who says that she "doesn't know how to paint", but acknowledges heavy artistic influences in her life, including her mother, well-known landscape painter Joni Falk, and other painters, such as Kristin Calbrese, Kenny Scharf, and the golden book illustrators such as Elloise Wilken, and Garth Williams.
The alternate universe that this Valley native creates is a play on conflicting themes from the innocence of childhood to the biting reality of adulthood. She uses vintage items such as toys, storybooks and containers to create seemingly sweet and nostalgic still life scenes that are reminiscent of a knick knack shelf in a pre-teens' room. Closer examination reveals and edge: nails, scissors and matches sometimes make an appearance to create a little unexpected tension. This tension isn't unlike that awkward limbo like stage in the life of young girls and boys. Falk, who is in her 30's, is like many women of her generation and was influenced by Judy Blume, famous for relating the trails and tribulations of growing up through fiction. Falks stories and coping strategies are perhaps a little like Blume, just conveyed in a different medium with a few more sharp objects."
