A little bit about Susan:

Susan was raised in the bush landscape of Eastern Australia where she was inspired from an early age by the natural environment and abundant bird life around her. Being the second oldest of a family of 10 meant hard work replaced an expensive education. Pursuing her love of painting was something considered "impractical" and was therefore done strictly in her spare time. Susan's passion for creative expression drove her to continue her practice, which she has maintained from the age of 15 to this present day.

Largely self-taught, Susan was attracted to the vibrant and expressive works of artists such as Monet and VanGogh. She loves the wild use of color and freedom in form that she believes translates a sense of freedom and provides an experience of escapism. Susan's main goal is to convey happiness to the viewer through colorful and desirable imaginings in her artwork. Rather than perfection in replication she aims for the successful communication of memorable feelings and emotions.
