The Director

Susan Conway, the founding director, began her professional career in the museum field in 1970 as a Conservator of Paintings in France and the United States, having previously studied both art history and studio art. For seventeen years, she was responsible for the care of museum paintings, first at the Corcoran Gallery of Art as Assistant Conservator, and later at The Phillips Collection as Principal Conservator. She also served as Conservator for a number of traveling museum exhibitions.

These positions afforded her a rich and continuing education in the appreciation of works of art of the highest quality. She has drawn on her work in museums for the selection of a wide range of first-rate artists, for the development of the Gallery's staffing, and for the planning and installation of exhibitions and programs.

Active in national museum organizations, Susan Conway is currently a member of AAM (American Association of Museums), AIC (American Institute for Conservation of Historic & Artistic Works), and ArtTable. In Santa Fe, she served for six years as a member of the Board of the Santa Fe Art Institute, and now is a Trustee of the Museums of New Mexico Foundation.

A Special Tradition of Cartoon and Caricature Art

Since 1987, Ms. Conway has been the sole fine arts representative of Patrick Oliphant’s sculpture, paintings, and drawings. Oliphant, best known as the distinguished political cartoonist whose work is syndicated in newspapers worldwide, is also an accomplished fine artist in painting and sculpture.

Seen here in Oliphant’s inventory are examples of his oversized caricature drawings, "Edwards”, “Hillary’s Nightmare”, “Giuliani” “Reagan as Cowboy” and “Bush of Arabia”. A traveling museum exhibition of both drawings and sculpture, Leadership: Oliphant Cartoons & Sculpture from the Bush Years has been on tour in 2008 and 2009.

Earlier traveling museum exhibitions of his drawings and sculptures include: Seven Presidents: The Art of Oliphant, that originated at the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery; and Oliphant: The New World Order in Drawing and Sculpture, 1983-1993, that had a successful tour of nine venues in several countries in Eastern Europe under the auspices of the United States Information Agency.

The gallery also has presented exhibitions of drawing and caricature by other noted caricaturists of the last century including: David Levine, Edward Sorel, Richard Thompson and Peter Steiner.
