landscapes 2016-2017
After years of exploring differing landscapes across the globe, Susan re-discovered the endless possibilities in the horizons of her native Midwestern sky. She examines the limitless combinations of the rural horizon with puffy clouds and fields that venture out, off the canvas. Combining the muted tones of nature and earth with bold fluorescents, Susan uses line and color in an attempt to better understand and reconcile the contrasting personalities, perspectives, and belief systems of the Midwest.
