Susan Britton
Susan Britton was born in Winnipeg and began studies in the Advertising Art program at Red River Community College in 1973. In 1975 she transferred to NSCAD where she began to experiment with video. After she graduated with her BFA from NSCAD in 1976, she moved to Toronto where she made many videotapes and her work was exhibited widely. Susan was one of the five original members of Vtape in 1980. She also co-founded the Cabana Club, an early venue for artists' video and performance work. She left the Toronto video community in 1982 to set up a commercial video editing business in New York with several friends, later moving on to work as a writer and analyst.
