Unique and Personal
Texture, color, and avant-garde methods are the hallmarks of my work which I consider unique and personal. Self-taught, I draw upon my many years in theatre design and production for inspiration. I am constantly expanding my use of found objects in assemblages, new and old paints in my abstracts and old materials used in new ways. I could never produce one type of art over and over again--if I go back to a style its because I really love it, but reinventing myself everyday is my norm. I start each day asking, "what beautiful thing will you create today, Susan!" Some take a few days to get to beautiful, and some get are scrapped and taken back to raw materials--I am not easily satisfied. When I am satisfied, it is signed, photographed, listed and hung on my walls until it reaches yours. Yes, art is a means to making my living, but each painting is a little piece of me...its A Sharp Contrast to what you'd find at a home improvement store!
My work even appears on the set of Season 7 of Orange is the New Black! Visit: https://www.galesburg.com/news/20180812/galesburg-artist-ships-works-for-orange-is-new-black?fbclid=IwAR3fuxKzPvbt6vvnMcNrnViQbYtk-iqP238VO_OYMKhmuqrZ0XTp2nBLPMA
