REVIEWS (selected)
"Delightfully wacky, the young woman of Susan Webb Tregay's Risk Being Sorry (2011) rides her bike through a puddle, shooting up curling jets of water. Originally titled Before the Age of Anxiety, the work uses visual humor to protest the overly protective lives of children these days. Tregay remembers her own youth when she and her friends deliberately ran their bikes over a pot hole covered with water, thrilling at the unknown: will we hit it or not? She chooses a wacky, off-beat style to convey the exuberance of a child's daring.
Dorothy Joiner, Professor of Art History at La Grange College, for Watercolor USA, June 2011

"Susan Webb Tregay's piece titled "Us" is comprised of a hollowed book to which has been added an open brass safe door. Inside are ... slightly schmaltzy mementos. The book's title, "By Love Possessed," seems to echo the artist's sentiments in what just might be the world's first funk-art valentine."
Bruce Adams, The Buffalo News, 1/31/03

"Susan Webb Tregay's abstractions suggest a freeze-frame of complicated thoughts and feelings--a "diary".... Richard Huntington, Buffalo News, 8/4/00

"Susan Webb Tregay, working in a combination of media, has a command of modernist vocabulary..." Richard Huntington, Buffalo News, 6/7/98
"From the comic relief department, a certain naive wackiness rears its head on occasion, as in Susan Webb Tregay's "Land of Opportunity," an image of a U.S. map full of childlike houses and the block-printed script "WHERE ANY BOY CAN GROW UP TO BE PRESIDENT."
Josef Woodard, Los Angles Times, 5/2/1996
"One particularly clever piece by New York artist Susan Webb Tregay received the Puget Sound Award. "If You Don't Behave I'll Send You to Father Baker's" uses dark purple and brown to create streets of working-class houses in the shadow of a rather mysterious white cathedral. Tregay's juxtaposition of colors gives imaginative viewers comical or even sinister ideas about a parent's threat to a naughty child."
Suzanne Munson, The Seattle Times, 1993

Who Taught you how to sew? Does anyone sew any more? I really got into the zone when I was designing this. The tactile memories that the theme was producing in me was such fun.

Oh how Kay, Fran and I used to ride way out Iron Works Road to coast down a big hill and get a breeze on very hot summer days. Then we had to climb up the other side of this gully and coast down hill once more.

Brownies for Breakfast

At my Pauleys Island workshop recently, they had wonderful brownies that we had for 'breakfast' before they all disappeared. Someone suggested that 'Brownies for Breakfast' would make a good painting title, and thus, this painting was conceived--and born a couple of weeks later.

When Phones Stayed Home

"When Phones Were Heavy and Stayed Home." 24 x 24 acrylic

I have a list of 1300 painting titles. They have been extremely helpful in developing a path to a finished painting. What to emphasize? (Darken the phone poles.) How to enhance this? (My pet crow on the phone line?) What Design Strategy will best emphasize those now-dark poles? Evening coming and a street light? Remember how we used to stay out until the street lights came on? I'd love to do a book on my titles list. They have given me so much content over the years.

This painting is done from a photo of the first day of school in the early 1950's. Since I've been thinking about the old friends, two of them have contacted me. Isn't that strange? I've called it "The Baby Boomers."
