This interview of artist Sue Boone by Joan Murray, Director of the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa, Ontario, was recorded at the gallery. Boone refers to The (French) Impressionists, and Canadian painter (Group of Seven) Frederick Varley as among the painters she admires. The subjects of Boone's photo silkscreen prints and paintings are primarily women, and her portrait series includes: Madame Jeanne Sauvé, Governor-General of Canada; Maureen Forrester, contralto; Betty Oliphant, ballet mistress of the National Ballet of Canada; Alice Munro, author; and Margaret Atwood, author. Boone says she tried to capture the poet, schoolgirl and astute observer in her portrait of Atwood. Her current work, plans for the future and the influence of the women's movement on her work is discussed and an evident theme in three series: "The Metamorphosis Housewife"; "The Goddess"; and "Women of Substance". Boone draws a parallel between her own metamorphosis and the movement through these series from inner self to women in the world. She emphasizes the importance of symbols and describes how she uses the concept of 'tree' as a symbol for personal growth and to discover how her subjects view themselves so that she can portray their spirit.
