The Colorful Influence of Susan Daykin
February 9–March 3, 2024
The Colorful Influence of Susan Daykin at the Fashion Institute of Technology’s Art
and Design Gallery celebrates the artwork and teaching of Fine Arts Professor Susan
Daykin. Throughout the 52 years she has worked at FIT, her impact on the Fine Arts
program, its students, and the college at large has been nothing short of profound.
This exhibition will include a survey of work by Daykin and nine of her former students:
Jackie Bertucci, Jade Chan, Abigail DeVille, Rachel Kamali Dilmanian, Rebecca Eden,
Carla Lynk, Tushar Nath, Pamela Stoicev, and Vivian Vasquez.
The exhibition will also include sculptures and objects from her own collection. Daykin
acquired these objects from artisans she met over the years and throughout her travels.
Her collection has deeply informed her visual sensibilities and are reflected in the
breadth and colorful influence of her creative practice and teaching.
