ABOUT THE ARTIST
A local award-winning artist, Susan creates bold and expressive paintings with acrylic and mixed media. The energy of nature is explored in her paintings including landscapes, birds and flowers. Composition and a loose impressionistic style are important to her to bring life to the subjects, and depth and movement into her work.
Susan has enjoyed making art her whole life. She is a member of Artists in Action, Salem Art Association, Hallie Ford Museum, and ArtMarks, a local critique group. She has had solo and group shows in the Salem area and has been honored with several awards.
During her Residency in the SAA Annex Studio, Susan will experiment and explore new ideas and use of different materials and tools. The beauty of the valley will be used as inspiration. The studio space will allow for work on larger pieces and space to hang and evaluate the series of art created.
