a selection of Susan's Drawings
“Through interactions with forests, learning from indigenous peoples and studying cosmology, I have come to perceive that everything on the Earth is a manifestation of Earth and its interplay with cosmic forces. I believe everything is interconnected and sentient. These ideas have been a central part of my art for over twenty years.
Susan in her Camano Island Studio
Art is my medium for pondering the universe and my way of responding to the world. It is a delight to communicate my ideas by putting color on a surface and forming it into meaning. I love moving the paint and making lines.”
