Susanne is an abstract expressionist painter. Her non-objective art combines the flow and movement of paint creating strong textures, colors, and energy. Her entry into the world of painting came out of a long experience with garden design. Applying many of the same elements of this design, she puts brush to a canvas rather than shovel to the earth. She tries to achieve an organic feel to her paintings with a strong emphasis on abstract shapes, brush strokes, tones, and textures to create expressionistic visual poetry. Susanne has been strongly influenced by mid- century painters Robert Motherwell, Joan Mitchell, and Hans Hoffman
Susanne approaches her canvases without any preconception. Color evokes emotion; emotion evokes color. The creative process used in the painting involves continual change, moving through layers of color and medium, as the images evolve into an expression of translucent, organic form. As in nature, sometimes the elements have a life of their own.
She found her initial creative outlet in garden design, and began painting seriously in 2004 while teaching writing in Dayton, Ohio. She quickly reached a level of accomplishment which lead to shows in Dayton, Columbus, and Philadelphia. Her work was briefly interrupted by a serious automobile accident in the fall of 2011 and a diagnoses
She found her initial creative outlet in garden design, and began painting seriously in 2004 while teaching writing in Dayton, Ohio. She quickly reached a level of accomplishment which lead to shows in Dayton, Columbus, and Philadelphia. Her work was briefly interrupted by a serious automobile accident in the fall of 2011 and a diagnoses of leukemia in 2013. Once she was able to paint, it became a part of her recovery.
