Susan Marie Olmetti (born April 9, 1973) is a Sicilian American-born abstract painter currently residing in Chicago, Illinois and New York City. Ms. Olmetti began her career in 1999, inspired by the special character and culture of New York City and the famed Chelsea Hotel where she lived. She credits this special setting for igniting her creativity and personal development as an artist of the abstract. She has been featured in publications such as Canada's Globe and Mailand Today's Chicago Women. Her work has been described as having a sophisticated and intricate pop-art feel. Her paintings consist of little people who live in "a world of happiness", reflecting her complicated struggle with bi-polar disorder and the social and economic obstacles of having an eight grade education. Her art became a healing tool. She is outspoken and speaks publicly to raise awareness for children and adults with bi-polar disorder. In 2005, Olmetti created a lasting tribute in memory of her father, Joseph Michael Olmetti, by setting up the Joseph Michael Olmetti Memorial Fund for lung cancer research at the Rush University Medical Center. She is pleased that her art is used to fund possible solutions for lung cancer research. Her most recent showing was at the Judy A. Saslow Gallery in Chicago in late 2007. See Also
