ARTIST STATMENT

The need to capture a particular moment in thought or time has always compelled me to paint. There are certain subjects that need to be expressed, remembered and shared. I know I have been successful in my translation when the viewer is transported to the moment and is moved by it.”

A lifetime resident of Union Pier, MI. Susan finds artistic inspiration in many areas. Works in Pastel and Oil portray South West Michigan’s natural beauty.  In Oil and photography she captures the abstract forms of nature and industrial designs in steel. Other areas in thought and time are conveyed through Abstract Drawing, Painting, Poetry and Portraits.

 A self-taught artist, Susan has held many one-man shows and her award winning work has been displayed in the Midwest Museum of American Art in Elkhart, IN. The Box Factory in St. Joseph, MI. and is part of the Corporate collection of Lakeland Center for Outpatient Services in St. Joseph, MI. Susan was also chosen as the 2005 Artist-in-Residence at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park in Michigan and a 2007 Artist-in- Residence at the Porcupine Mountains State Park



I have nothing extraordinarily profound to say.

But,

I do have an extraordinarily profound world

of things to paint.

Each day the world changes.

Each day, I am a different person.

Each day, I am a different artist.
