Description
Sue comes to the Homosassa, Florida area by way of Arkansas, Alabama, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, California and Louisiana. Her work is on display in corporate and private collections throughout the world. She was selected to be featured in "Splash 6", a Northlight Books publication, and has exhibited in many regional and national shows. Sue received her Bachelor of Art degree from Michigan State University and has studied extensively with nationally known artists.
Sue’s current body of work is entitled “Paintings to Touch” and focuses on creating textures on the papers surface. “ Texture has always fascinated me and I find it difficult to walk through a store without touching all the fabrics. One of my goals in painting is to create a surface you not only enjoy visually, but also want to touch. When I show my work I try to have pieces of paintings available for clients to feel. Some of the texture is created with pure paint and some with collage; with the fun in not being able to tell which is paint and that which is not.”
"The inspiration for my work comes from many sources: the sun drenched grapefruit in Scottsdale, soap bubbles in my kitchen sink, the first soft snowfall, photos from the Hubbell Telescope and Mars. My paintings begin with sketches for overall design and do not include any detail. I then begin texturing the paper with gauzes, threads, yarns, ropes, oriental papers and plastic bags using watercolor and acrylic paints. Each element applied for texture will leave it’s own distinct mark. Cotton will texture much differently than silk. The texture left is also determined by the weather, warm, cold, dry, or humid and the paint. All texturing material is removed after the paint has dried and the design is then further developed."
