My name is Susan, I am a Self Representing artist/painter from Australia.
All my works are hand painted using Acrylic paint on Canvas.
Since the age of 5, I have been drawing and painting and making a variety of art. After completing High School, all I wanted to do was continue making art so I studied and completed a 3 year Diploma of Fine Arts in Sydney in 1996.
I majored in Studio Painting but it also gave me experience in Etching, Black and White Photography and Sculpture.
I had my first group exhibition in Sydney in 1996 which was a great experience.
In 1999 I moved to Newcastle, NSW where I lived for 5 years and in 2001 I started my own Art Business selling my own orginal hand made Greeting Cards and Gift Tags to local Boutique Gift Stores which I continued until 2003, at which point I left Newcastle and moved back to my home of Sydney.
Since then I have worked in various jobs from a dishwasher to a recruitment consultant in the corporate world.
These days I am able to spend more time on my Art and work a day job part time.
I have always been fascinated by the use of rich colour, light and luminosity as well as the effects of light and shadow. I am also greatly inspired by Nature, mythology, astrology, spirituality, archetypal imagery and well as symbolism.
Art is truly a therapy for me a way to connect to my higher self through colour and seeing an image come to life from the initial vision, to the final result.
Many different artists inspire me, some include Josephine Wall and Judy Mastrangelo, Brian Froud, David Delamere ,Maxine Gadd, Lisa Hunt, Constable, Van Gogh, Klimt, Edward Robert Hughes (Pre- Raphaelites and Romanticism),Jonathon Earl Bowser, Catherine Andrews and Howard David Johnson.
